There’s no shortage of shopping malls in Osaka in general and in Minami in particular, but Namba Marui is hard to beat if you want to cover all the bases, check out a variety of Japan’s biggest brands, and choose from a huge variety of both Japanese and international cuisine.
There’s pretty much everything here, from a Bic Camera (for electronics and camera gear) to a great movie theatre, with everything in between.
