#OsakaTourism #GrandFrontOsaka #MUJI #MUJICafe MUJI, which had a store on the 4th floor of Graflo (Grand Front Osaka), has completed renovations and reopened on Friday, September 8th. I immediately went to the newly reopened MUJI... Previously, the 4th floor had a variety of products, including cafes, food, sweets, tableware, furniture, clothing, miscellaneous goods, and stationery. However, the cafe was small, with the bakery section on the right...the cafe was on the left, and there were few tables and seats. Because of this, the wait time was long and the waiting area was narrow. When I went there this time, the newly built 2nd and 3rd floors were lined with clothing, furniture, miscellaneous goods, etc., and you could go up to the original 4th floor by using the escalator that had been installed inside the MUJI store. Caf'e & Meal MUJI is on the 4th floor, and at the coffee bean section on the 3rd floor, you can order hot and blended coffee for 300 yen and iced coffee for 350 yen, and enjoy your drink at your leisure in the bright cafe corner by the window. They also sell coffee beans by weight, which is very convenient. Caf'e & Meal MUJI on the 4th floor is just an expanded version of the previous MUJI Cafe, and they've moved the bakery corner to make it even larger, and you can now enter from the aisle. Previously, there wasn't much space to wait, so I'd give up and go home, but thanks to the renovation, there's now space to line up, and the interior is much larger, with large wooden tables and all the interior design that's natural, bright and spacious, making it easier to enter.

I visited "Grand Front Osaka" in Umeda, Osaka! Its convenient location, just north of JR Osaka Station, and the harmonious blend of greenery and waterfront urban scenery left a strong impression. This "city of knowledge and interaction," featuring four high-rise buildings, a plaza, and Knowledge Capital, offers a relaxing and comfortable atmosphere amidst the bustling city. With around 260 stores including fashion, lifestyle goods, cafes, and restaurants, simply strolling through the area is full of new discoveries. On the 7th and 8th floors of the South Building, "UMEKITA FLOOR" boasts stylish bars and cafes where you can sit back, enjoy the view, and savor your meal.

#Osaka Shopping Guide For design fans, Osaka's "Isamu Noguchi Store" is definitely a holy place full of history and modernity. Isamu Noguchi is a Japanese-American artist whose works include sculptures, furniture and public art, and his style combines Eastern and Western philosophy with minimalist beauty. This store is as quiet and clean as an exhibition space, and its classic designs such as "Noguchi Table" and "Akari" paper lamps are displayed inside, which touch people's hearts. I was particularly attracted by the "Akari" series of lamps, which are soft and poetic. Each piece is handmade by Japanese craftsmen and has a warm but modern atmosphere. Although the price is not cheap, the beauty from the intersection of craftsmanship and art is an irreplaceable collection. Limited edition picture books and design peripherals are also sold here. For those who like in-depth design travel, it is a sensory experience field that cannot be missed.

My friend recommended visiting Osaka GRAND FRONT, and it truly lived up to the hype! It's just a few minutes' walk from Osaka Station, and the area is filled with towering buildings and a trendy atmosphere. Inside, there are over 200 stores, offering everything from fashion brands to unique trinkets. I particularly enjoyed the North Building's Knowledge Capital, which features many interactive exhibits that are really fun. For dinner, I chose UMEKITA FLOOR, where I could enjoy a romantic meal while admiring the night view through the windows. When I got tired from shopping, I relaxed at the rooftop garden. This trip offered a perfect mix of shopping, art, and technology, making it a rare all-in-one destination in Osaka's city center. I’ll definitely visit again next time!

From May 30 (Fri) to June 29 (Sun), krank's exhibition is being held on the 4th floor of MUJI at Grand Front Osaka✨ When I visited their store in Fukuoka, I was deeply moved by the world Fujii-san creates, and I had always wanted to visit again. I’m truly delighted that they are holding an exhibition in Osaka💖 The space created with antique scraps, shadows, and light felt like stepping into another world—magical and calming.

#Osaka Itinerary Umeda, the heart of Osaka, is a place that combines modern prosperity and artistic atmosphere. Today's day trip made me deeply feel the diverse charm of this city. From the towering skyscrapers to the art palaces hidden in the alleys, every moment is amazing. Here is my one-day tour of Umeda, taking you to explore this vibrant city! 9:00 AM: Arrive in Umeda and feel the pulse of the city We started our Umeda trip by walking from Osaka Station. As soon as I got out of the station, the scene in front of me stunned me instantly - tall buildings, crowds of people, and the streets were full of a busy atmosphere. As the commercial center of Osaka, Umeda is not only a shopping paradise, but also a gathering place for food and culture. Walking on the streets, I felt the vitality and enthusiasm of this city, as if I could follow the rhythm of this city with every step. 10:00 AM: Umeda Sky Building, overlooking the panoramic view of Osaka I came to one of Umeda's landmarks, the Umeda Sky Building. The building is known for its unique design, with two buildings connected at the top to form a sky garden. I took the elevator directly to the top floor "Sky Garden Observatory", from where I could overlook the entire Osaka city. The scenery was so magnificent that it took my breath away. The design of the observation deck is full of futuristic sense, and the transparent glass railings give people the illusion of floating in the air. Standing here, I feel the prosperity and modernity of Umeda, and I am full of admiration for the development of this city. 12:30 p.m.: Taste authentic Okonomiyaki at Takimi-koji I came to the food paradise of Umeda - "Takimi-koji". This hidden underground food street is full of retro atmosphere, as if you have traveled back to the Showa era. I ordered an Okonomiyaki in a traditional Japanese restaurant. The aroma of the ingredients on the hot iron plate was so tempting that it made me salivate. While dining, I chatted with the locals sitting next to me and felt the warmth and friendliness of the people of Osaka. This is not only a taste bud enjoyment, but also a cultural experience. 2:00pm: HEP FIVE Ferris Wheel, experience the romance of the city I went to the "HEP FIVE" shopping mall. This building is famous for its huge red Ferris wheel and is one of Umeda's landmarks. I took the Ferris wheel and looked down at the streets of Umeda from high above. The prosperity and romance of the city were perfectly integrated at this moment. Soft music is played in the Ferris wheel cabin, making people feel relaxed and happy. As the carriage slowly rose, I saw the skyline in the distance and the streets below my feet, and my heart was filled with love for this city. 4:00 p.m.: Immerse yourself in the world of art at Kinutani Koji Sky Museum I came to the Kinutani Koji Sky Art Museum located in the Umeda Sky Building. This museum showcases the works of renowned Japanese painter Koji Kinutani, known for his bright colors and unique style. As soon as I entered the art gallery, I was immediately attracted by the huge murals on the wall. The colors and lines in the paintings were full of vitality, as if telling touching stories. The museum also has a 3D image exhibition area, allowing people to immerse themselves in the world of art. This is not only a place to appreciate art, but also a space for people to feel creativity and inspiration. 6:00 PM: Enjoy a quiet moment at GRAND FRONT OSAKA I arrived at "GRAND FRONT OSAKA". This modern shopping mall is home to many international brands and specialty restaurants and is a new landmark in Umeda. I browsed around the bookstore "Tsutaya Books" here for a while, picked out a few books I liked, and then enjoyed a cup of hand-brewed coffee in a cafe, quietly enjoying this moment of tranquility. This is not only a good place for shopping, but also a space for people to relax. 8:00pm: End of the journey The day's journey is about to end, and my heart is filled with reluctance and emotion. Umeda is not only a vibrant place, but also a place where people can feel the charm of the city and the warmth of humanity. Every corner here is full of stories and emotions, making people linger.
