Nagoya · Osu / Kamimaezu
Browse for the unexpected between the arcades.
Osu rewards a loose plan: shopping streets, food stops and small discoveries sit around the temple district. Pick one thing to browse for, then give yourself time to follow the side streets.

Use the shopping map
The district is a network rather than a single indoor mall. Mark a shop or meal stop on the official map, then explore around it. Ask before photographing inside small shops and keep space for customers at entrances and counters.
Leave room for a break
This is a good finish after the science museum or a temple visit, especially when you want a less scheduled afternoon. Evening dining hours do not mean every retailer stays open late. The photograph shows Banshoji Street in January 2025; individual businesses may have changed.
