What to do and see in Kinki, Japan: The Best Shopping Malls
The Kansai region (関西地方, Kansai-chihō) or the Kinki region (近畿地方, Kinki-chihō) lies in the southern-central region of Japan's main island Honshū. The region includes the prefectures of Mie, Nara, Wakayama, Kyoto, Osaka, Hyōgo and Shiga, sometimes Fukui, Tokushima and Tottori. While the use of the terms "Kansai" and "Kinki" have changed over history, in most modern contexts the use of the two terms is interchangeable. The urban region of Osaka, Kobe, and Kyoto (Keihanshin region) is the second-most populated in Japan after the Greater Tokyo Area.

If you get experience from Tokyo Station, this station is "fingers in the nose". Just leave your platform from JR Train to go to Metro platform. I suggest you to buy a day pass 900 yens per person. It includes metro, bus and some trams (not all. if you want to visit Sumiyoshi-Taisha Shrine, you need to pay extra ticket fee).

Serious shoppers will be sure to find something they like along this huge underground shopping street. It also serves a functional purpose as a passage connecting multiple train stations.

This is a huge underground place where there are lots of shops and eateries. Definitely a great place to visit when it rains and its linked to Namba station which is just 2 stops from Osaka station.
