Set in the heart of Osaka’s bustling shopping area, the fashion megaplex Shinsaibashi Parco (stylized as Shinsaibashi PARCO) is elegant and sprawling, extending from the second basement level to the 14th floor. It has around 150 shops, providing visitors with everything from high-end fashion to cosmetics to pop culture-related goods to world-class cuisine. Throughout Japan, the Parco shopping center chain is renowned for its fashion shops and boutiques, offering stylish brands both domestic and imported from overseas.
But what really makes the brand stand out is the way in which specific locations have their own charms and specializations, reflecting the spirit of the area in which they were built. Shinsaibashi Parco channels Osaka’s intoxicating, lively atmosphere. Many of the stores here feel like portals into another reality, providing the opportunity to escape from ordinary life — even if just for a moment.
Here are two unique ways to experience the shopping center: Slip Into Another Realm at Shinsaibashi Neon Shokudo-gai Tucked away deep in the second basement level of Shinsaibashi Parco is a neon-lit, subterranean restaurant street with around 25 restaurants and bars. Each establishment is original and distinct, and each offers a unique dining experience. These two stand out for their absorbing atmospheres, creating an extraordinary and memorable time.
