Amerika-mura (American
Village)
アメリカ村
あめりかむら
A popular shopping district in Osaka usually referred to as "Ame-mura."
Thirty years ago this district was a mixed area of department store
warehouses and private homes. It came to be known as the American
Village when some of the unused warehouses were opened to sell jeans
and other products imported from the United States. Today there
are around 800 shops, selling imported goods and clothing as well
as operating as restaurants. The American Village has become a focal
point of young culture attracting as many as 200,000 visitors on
weekends and holidays. |
