About Shinsaibashi Shopping Street

Shinsaibashi Shopping Street est une galerie marchande couverte et entièrement piétonne, implantée en plein cœur d'Osaka, au Japon. Sur quelque 600 mètres, elle relie la station Shinsaibashi au pont Ebisubashi, croisant au passage le célèbre quartier de divertissement de Dotonbori. Sous ses arcades se succèdent plus de 180 enseignes : grands magasins comme le Daimaru, griffes internationales, boutiques locales et échoppes gourmandes. La rue accueille les visiteurs tous les jours, la plupart des commerces ouvrant en fin de matinée jusqu'en soirée. Véritable artère commerçante depuis l'époque Edo, la galerie couverte elle-même remonte aux années 1920.
