This little shopping street is the perfect place to snap some photos while on a stroll

Nakatsu Shopping Street
Nakatsu 3 , Kita-ku, Osaka

This shopping area is located on a long, narrow street. At one point, the shops were shuttered, however, young proprietors renovated the rowhouses and opened new shops starting in 2016. This spot is transforming into a new, yet old-fashioned shopping street home to retro Japanese candy shops, delicious-smelling bakeries, and stylish cafes.
