It took 58 minutes none stop to cross. the shopping was amazing. the shops are sometimes 3 and 5 storeys tall. There is an amazing food culture nearby and in the Shinsaibashi. We went down exploring nearly every day. We found heaps to spend out money on. Cheaper than we thought too.

Shinsaibashi Arcade is the best shopping street in all Osaka. It has something for everybody--brand name shops, department stores, boutiques, food shops and 100yen shops, etc. Fun place to people watch, too.
