Umeda 3-chome
The place of origin and the nexus

There were people making their journeys via the original Osaka Station.
There were people who came to send off their thoughts at the former Osaka Central Post Office.
At all times, this place has always been where people, goods, cultures, and thoughts have mingled.
Thus it created many different encounters and stories.

In 2024, this place
will once again become the origin of a new nexus in Osaka.

Osaka meets Japan.
Osaka meets high quality.
Osaka meets curiosity.
Osaka meets enthusiasm.
Osaka meets the world.
