Tokyu Hands (10F‐12F) provides a selection of lifestyle items, stationary, and seasonal goods; some of them might make for some nice souvenirs! As for shops that specialize in cakes and sweets (B1F), Shotani (ショウタニ), Tsumagari (ツマガリ), and Baby Mon Cher (ベビーモンシェール) all started in Osaka or Hyogo prefecture, and have remained popular with locals.

In additiona to a wide variety of shops, the Grand Front Osaka also offers a “Knowledge Capital” that showcases new concepts, hobbies, and lifestyles based on the latest Japanese technology.

Gravity Research (North Bldg., 6F) is a bouldering gym for both beginners and professionals. This gym is managed by Koujitsusanso (好日山荘, North Bldg., 5F), a mountain-climbing and hiking goods store.

We recommend the Hankyu Department Store, which has the top sales of any department store in western Japan, for several reasons. First, the complex offers an incredible number of items for sale (in particular, jewelry, accessories, cosmetics, clothing, shoes, bags, etc.); You will no doubt find a new favorite shop or item here. 

Secondly, for its fascinating architecture alone, the Hankyu Department Store is worth a visit. The Festival Plaza on the 9th floor of the complex is a giant hall with a grand staircase. Exciting events are often held here. Further, the Hankyu Department Store sometimes showcases collaborations with artists, Japanese animated series, and children's books. These showcases commonly result in increased popularity with customers. 

The third reason for visiting the Hankyu Department Store is the underground food floor (B1F), also known as the "Depachika" (デパ地下) (literally, “underground department store”). Hankyu’s Depachika offers delicious dishes, sweets, breads, and fresh foods. The shops selling these items are sometimes the only one of their kind in Kansai. Items limited for sale in only Hankyu Department Store can also be found here. The stores FOUNDRY (ファウンドリー), Baton D'or (バトンドール), and Gokan (五感) are our personal recommendations.

Hanshin Department Store has been beloved by locals since 1933 and made a grand opening with new spacy floors in 2021. In our personal opinion, the best thing about this complex is the friendliness of the store clerks, who are knowledgeable about the items. Some of the clerks are also very active on SNS, where they introduce interesting lifestyle-related items, tasty foods, and seasonal fashions. 

The Sashimi and Sushi shop "Hanshin Higesada” (阪神髭定, はんしんひげさだ, B1F) sells fresh fish sourced only from selected ports such as Kishiwada port and Akashi port. A direct transport system from these ports enables the shop to offer customers the freshest, tastiest fish! A variety of appetizers or snacks, including a famous local food Ikayaki (イカ焼き)  are available on B1F, too.

Wagashi (和菓子), i.e., Japanese sweets, offered by the confectionery store Taneya (たねや, B1F) are delicious! At Taneya, customers can buy Hanshin-brand Dorayaki (kanji: どら焼き; hiragana:どらやき), which is a dessert made of a sweet red bean paste sandwiched between two sponge cakes.
