Amerika-mura
Also known as ‘Amemura’, ‘Amerika-mura’ or ‘America Village’ is Osaka’s most famous centre for youth culture. Taking its name from the influence of American culture – most readily identifiable in the area’s many secondhand clothing outlets selling imports from the US – Amerika-mura is in fact a glorious mishmash of subcultures including street and hiphop, goth, punk, Lolita and lots of genres that many of us are too old to ever heard of. Secondhand outlets are jumbled together with young designer boutiques, music stores and bars, galleries, all manner of shops and of course plenty of nightlife. If you’re under the age of 30 and heading to Oaska for the first-time, then make sure to spend an afternoon or evening exploring the village and for anyone older, you should go too. It really can be a lot of fun.
