Traveler reviews
The food is mouth watering (basement). Not your usual items toy can find anywhere. They also have many nice snacks in very aesthetic packaging.
You must use a physical credit card if you're not paying with cash.
A Hidden Gem for Muslim Travelers! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
If you are shopping at Hankyu Department Store Umeda Main Store (right next to Osaka Station) and need a place to pray, this is the perfect spot.
Location: 8th Floor (8F).
Finding it: Follow the signs and directions for the restrooms; the prayer room is conveniently located nearby and adjacent to the luxury cafe (Cremia).
Facilities:
* The prayer room is impeccably clean and well-maintained.
* There are separate sections for men and women, ensuring privacy.
* The wudhu (ablution) station is conveniently located inside the same room.
It is such a relief to find such a high-quality prayer space in the heart of Osaka's shopping district. To all my Muslim brothers and sisters visiting the area, I highly recommend stopping by here for your prayers.
Truly a 5-star experience for accessibility and comfort!
I come for beauty brands and have my shopping at Dior, three and addiction. As I knew there is a floor about women shoes, I shop awhile and I got my favourite shoes here in this big sale season. Then went to top floor for f&b, and have my take away dessert :) it is a good place for shopping , just too crowded in weekend.
