Umeda is Osaka's number one shopping district. This time, we will introduce HEP FIVE and Hankyu Sanban-gai, which are both within a five-minute walk from Umeda Station, for those who want to enjoy some shopping in between sightseeing.

So this time, we will introduce "HEP FIVE" and "Hankyu Sanban-gai," which are located within a 5-minute distance from the station. These are must-see facilities for those who want to do some shopping in between sightseeing.
The red Ferris wheel is the landmark of "HEP FIVE."
It is conveniently located just a 3-minute walk from Hankyu Osaka Umeda Station, and is lined with trendy brands, with each floor offering a full range of fashion, gourmet food, entertainment, and more.
