Travel through time and space and trends! Various ways to enjoy Hankyu Department Store in Umeda, Osaka

#Osaka Shopping Guide Stepping into the core area of ​​Osaka Umeda, the century-old landmark Hankyu Department Store is like a living commercial museum, perfectly blending the pioneering concept of the TOD model with the retro style of the Showa era. You can seamlessly connect to this department store built in 1929 from Umeda Station. Its "station is a shopping mall" design has pioneered the global TOD business. Different from the luxurious glass curtain walls of modern shopping malls, Hankyu wins with "restrained exquisiteness". The layered spatial layout hides mysteries - high-end jewelry and cultural and creative shops coexist, and international brands are intertwined with local designer brands. The most surprising thing is the European porcelain Meisen counter in the home furnishing area, where customers can not only buy century-old bone china products, but also enjoy afternoon tea served in porcelain at the window teahouse, and experience immersive consumption of "buyable, appreciative, and tasting". Looking up, the crystal chandeliers hanging from the dome cast a warm halo, and the decorative mosaic floor tiles extend to every corner, making you feel like you are in the retro scene of In the Mood for Love. And young trendy elements are everywhere: irregular art pop-ups and co-branded limited stores make the century-old department store glow with new vitality.
