Amerikamura
アメリカ村
A young, trendy district west of Shinsaibashi, filled with vintage shops, street food, and graffiti. Triangle Park is the heart of Kansai's street culture.
Amerikamura lies west of Midosuji, between Shinsaibashi and Dotonbori. It got its name in the 1970s, when young people began selling secondhand clothing and records imported from America. Today it is home to hundreds of vintage shops, streetwear brands, record stores, live houses, and cafés, and it is the birthplace of Kansai's street culture and youth fashion. At the center, Triangle Park (Mitsu Park) often hosts street performances on weekends. The graffiti-covered walls and the miniature Statue of Liberty nearby are popular photo spots. Kaga-ryu takoyaki and various crêpes are also local favorites. The district is free to explore, and most shops open after 11:00. Getting there: about a 3-minute walk from Exit 7 of Shinsaibashi Station. Combine it with a stroll through Shinsaibashi, Dotonbori, and Horie.
