At a Glance
Amerikamura, known locally as Ame-mura, is a retail and entertainment area near Shinsaibashi in Chūō Ward, Osaka. It is built around Triangle Park, a small plaza surrounded by shops selling Western-style fashion, along with bars and nightclubs. A small replica of the Statue of Liberty overlooks the streets.
The area took shape after 1969, when a café opened in front of the park and young creators began to gather. Warehouses were then turned into shops selling casual clothes imported from the American West Coast and Hawaii, which gave the district its name. Today it holds about 2,500 shops, from fashion and used clothing to restaurants and live music venues, and is a hub of Kansai youth culture. A mural called Peace on Earth, painted in 1983 by Seitarō Kuroda, is also here.
