Namba & Shinsaibashi
Stay in the heart of Minami, steps from Dotonbori and Shinsaibashi.
This covers Namba, where Osaka Metro, Nankai, Kintetsu and JR lines meet, and Shinsaibashi just to the north. Dotonbori, Kuromon Market and the Nipponbashi electric town are all walkable, and many places serve food until late.
