What other travelers are saying about Osu Shopping District
We have lunch and spend the rest of the afternoon shopping. Osu Shotengai Shopping Street is not as crowded as most of the shopping streets we have experienced in Japan. The walking streets are wider than the other shopping streets. So the shopping streets are easier to see and navigate. However, the Osu Shotengai Shopping Street does not have as many different kinds of stores. We ended up only purchasing a few things.
Osu offers various products, including fashion, electronics, souvenirs, traditional Japanese crafts, and more.

☀️ Dropped by after a great breakfast nearby
We parked at Osu Park, which was just a short walk to both Osu Shopping District and Osu Kannon Temple—super convenient!
This vibrant shelf district features covered walkways, making it easy to explore in any weather. The arcades are packed with shops, food stalls, vintage goods, souvenirs, and anime merchandise. We easily spent half a day wandering through the maze of alleys, enjoying local snacks and browsing quirky items.
We even picked up a handy check-in luggage here—plenty of practical buys along with the fun stuff!
🧭 A great spot for casual strolling, street food, temple visits, and shopping—all in one area.
Highly recommended for a half-day adventure in Nagoya.
Rather underwhelming to be honest. Not many of the shops are very interesting. It's definitely not Midosuji or Namba.
There are a couple of interesting ones, esp. Kannon Coffee. The Osu Kannon Temple at the end is a beautiful site.
Bustling shopping street with hundreds, if not thousands of shops, some of which are hidden gems. Since it is located next to Osu Kannon, it is a good idea to visit both on the same day. Perfect for shopaholics.
With its covered arcades and blend of contemporary and traditional stores, Nagoya's Osu Shopping Street provides a bustling and delightful strolling experience. The food stalls stood out, especially those with large queues, which indicated their popularity, even though many establishments didn't have anything that tempted me to buy. You can try some of the local street food and snacks there. You might find some hidden treasures or better bargains in the side streets if you have the time to explore. Even if you're not there to buy much, the lively environment makes the trip worthwhile for the experience. It's perfect for taking leisurely walks, observing people, and sampling delectable snacks as you go.
