In Osaka, the main areas are divided into Kita (Osaka-Umeda) and Minami (Namba-Shinsaibashi). Kita is home to many longstanding record stores, while Minami is teeming with independent and newer record shops. Especially in Shinsaibashi-Amemura, there are many shops specializing in genres like Reggae, Club, and Hip-Hop. Don't miss the unique selections found in the new shops scattered outside of these two main areas.
