Amazing 'Namba Parks' Mall in Japan - Tour of Lush & Toys R Us!
Join me as I explore Namba Parks Mall in the heart of Osaka, Japan! Built on the former site of Osaka Stadium, this shopping centre has a blend of inside and outside, urban and green, offering an escape from the busy life of Namba.
In this video, I’ll take you to two well-known stores from the many on offer: Lush (ラッシュ), the British cosmetics brand known for its customer service, and Toys R Us (トイザらス), the world's most famous toy store -- there we'll find Furby, Pokémon, Lego, Beyblade, Nintendo, Gozilla toys and more.
We’re visiting on a Sunday evening, so you’ll see more of a relaxed weekend vibe, complete with Christmas decorations. Along the way, I’ll share some trivia about the mall’s design and history, as well as some Japanese language-related content.
Let’s explore the unique atmosphere, and see what Namba Parks has to offer...

Japanese Supermarket Tour w/ Food Haul + Taste Test - Central Square, Osaka
Переглядів 2,7 тис.21 день тому
Today I'm heading to Central Square Life in Osaka, a Japanese supermarket that’s fast becoming a favourite of mine. It’s just below Nanba station and has more variety and a bit of a modern feel compared to a typical Life store. The place is usually packed, probably because I go in the evenings and it's right in the city centre, but it’s worth the trip for the great selection and quality. I’m pi...
