OSAKA GOTHIC LOLITA PUNK SHOPPING GUIDE. SHINSAIBASHI BEST GOTH LOLI ALTERNATIVE CLOTHING STORES, WOMEN'S FASHION BOUTIQUES, SHOP MAPS & ADDRESSES. OSAKA KANSAI LOLITA SHOPPING MAPS. WHERE TO BUY GOTHIC LOLITA HARAJUKU FRUITS CLOTHES IN TOKYO JAPAN, SHOP LIST & ADDRESSES FOR COOL JAPANESE CLOTHING STORES. shopping malls in japan, directions and map for best women's clothing stores, Harajuku shop guide, used gosurori clothing, where to buy lolita clothes in osaka,

† † † OSAKA SHOPPING MAP † † †

Most of the alternative / Goth / Punk / Lolita stores are concentrated in the Shinsaibashi district of Osaka, especially Americamura (the triangle-shaped park). Above is a map of that I modified from a page in Kera Magazine. Some stores have closed down or moved; I did my best to update the locations.

Take the subway to Shinsaibashi Station, and walk towards the “canal” (the light blue vertical line on the map above) and Americamura park. From there, you can explore the area and find the stores.

Unlike in Harajuku, the stores are not always located close together, and many are found inside department stores or buildings (such as OPA and Big Step). If this is your first visit, I strongly recommend that you DON’T stress about finding the individual boutiques! Simply walk around Shinsaibashi / Americamura, and meander into the side-streets. You’ll run into incredible Sweet Lolita shops, Fairy Kei accessories and more, I promise. (Photos and reports of the stores are below).

    hello.I think theres like two people going around downvoting any comment with the mention of hguf dare I say it… Versus O.o But really, if they canned the game,like this one ttt4 it would be nice to just let us know rather than troll the entire world on a game that they know people are curious about, and these where the same guys stating “long development periods are “dishonest”” smh. Heres to hoping for more info at E3(its called hope, I can atleast have that right?) Am sure LE will be great, though am more psyched about finally being able to play X-2 international edition and tame those damn monsters.العاب شمس. thank you for sharing and posting.
