Namba Station is served by JR, Kintetsu, Nankai Electric Railway, Hanshin Electric Railway, etc.
You can go to Umeda, Wakayama, Nara, and even Kobe, and it’s also a boarding and alighting point for express buses, so there’s a constant stream of people coming and going from morning until night.
Night buses from Kanto often arrive in the Minami area (Namba OCAT, etc.) early in the morning, and many people may head to their homes or workplaces from there.
Many people choose to eat breakfast before their departure when transferring! ?
This time, we will introduce recommended restaurants where you can conveniently have breakfast when you stop by Osaka Minami area on a trip or business trip ♫
Since McDonald’s can be found all over the country, I would like to focus on unique Osaka shops and reasonably priced shops instead!
How to have a morning in Minami (Shinsaibashi/Namba)
If you look at the customer base of people who are having breakfast in the Minami area, you can see that there are many different types of people enjoying their morning. It looks exactly like the downtown Osaka Minami.
There are many people in town from the first train, regardless of whether it is a weekend or a weekday. It seems that some people enjoy morning meals as a way to take a break before work, while others use morning meals at a coffee shop as a way to fill up their stomachs before bed after work in the evening.
Hotel morning service is available to non-guests as well.
Some people may cite the “hotel morning buffet” as one of the pleasures of staying at a hotel. Many hotels in the Minami area allow non-guests to enjoy a morning buffet for a fee.
Morning at a coffee shop
The Minami area, which has been a lively downtown area since ancient times, has many coffee shops that have been open for many years, and many of them have been around for a long time and are crowded with regulars. A traditional cafe called “Showa”, which is reminiscent of the Showa era, two years before the current era “Reiwa”, continues to operate to this day, and you can feel the nostalgic atmosphere and tradition.
Morning at Manga Cafe
The Namba area is also a terminal station for night buses. Many people arrive early in the morning, so there may be some people who have plenty of time before their connecting flight. At times like these, it would be nice to have a place where you can enjoy a morning break as well as a morning break! At Manga Cafe, you can wake up, take a break, and even take a shower. There are many manga cafes in the Namba area.
How to find morning shops in the Minami area (Namba/Shinsaibashi)
Underground shopping center Let’s look for
In fact, a huge underground mall has been formed in the Minami area that cannot be seen from the outside, and many tenants have moved in and conducted business inside. Many major chains and coffee shops are also tenants
It functions as a relaxing spot in an underground shopping mall with a lot of foot traffic.
If you want to find a store that offers morning service, you may find it easier to find one that offers morning service by visiting the underground shopping malls.
There are many morning stores near the station.
Coffee shops tend to be located in areas where there is a lot of foot traffic. It can be said that there are many morning service shops around railway stations, which are crowded with passengers getting on and off the train.
