Shinsaibashisuji Shopping Street is a covered shopping arcade that runs from Shinsaibashi to Namba in Osaka. It holds brand stores, accessory shops, and stores selling ceramic dishes, knives, and kitchenware, and connects to Daimaru Department Store and Parco. The domed ceiling blocks sunlight and each store has air conditioning, so walking is less affected by the weather. In the afternoon the crowds are very large.
