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.
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.
Worth visiting for casual walk. Vintage clothing, cheap electronics and plenty of food stalls are main attractions. Those who love ornaments & watches don’t miss to visit komehyo.
This place is so convenient for strolling as it is not so crowded with more locals than tourists. You wouldn't notice time running as its great for window and actual shopping. Has variety of street food to try which are all delicious. But I find the tanghulu quite pricey though keeps ordering to my daughter's delight. And of course has shops with cosmetics, medicine and supplements galore. Had wonderful vintage stores. A leather shop with the coolest belt color/ buckle selection that can be customized. An authentic matcha shop with an accommodating owners that shows the process and explains the variety.
