I tried to search for shopping street, apart from Namba, Shinsaibashi, outlets and Tenjinbashisuji Shopping Street. On that day, it was rainy day all day so I did not want to go to the park, nor the department stores. I found the name of Matsuyamachi Suji Shopping Street which is located not far from the downtown of Osaka.
Matsuyamachi Suji is 500-600 m. shopping street (not long as other shopping streets) where has many wholesale stores. Mostly, the shops sell toys, dolls especially Japanese doll, candy and etc. This recalls my memories of childhood. Price of goods are not expensive. Something is not necessary to buy in wholesale, can buy in retail.
Access
Subway Matsuyamachi Station via Nagahori Tsurumi-ryokuchi Line (light green line).
Short walk from station.
The shopping street has 2 sides. It is not the busy street and this makes me feel unique experience.
If you are looking for the items used in festival / event such as fireworks in summer, it is also available here. If you are interested in traditional products and toys, hope you like this place but if you like fashion or modern goods, I recommend Namba and Shinsaibashi instead. After I finished shopping this street, I moved to Crystal Nagahori which is underground shopping street at Nagahoribashi Station (1 station from Matsuyamachi Station). Nagahoribashi Station connect with Shinsaibashi Station.
