AMERICA MURA
America Mura is the name of the district near west-Shinsaibashi bridge in Chuo-ku, Osaka and is sometimes referred to as “Ame-Mura”.
It has been regarded as a place for youth culture in Osaka for many years and there are approximately 2,500 shops.
The reason as to why this district was originally named “American village” is because in 1969 clothing began to be imported from west coast of the U.S and Hawaii and was sold by young people who converted warehouses into shops.
