Umekita Green Place: New Urban Shopping Center Opens Above Ground in Osaka Station, Connecting to Grand Green Osaka

The urban shopping center “Umekita Green Place” has opened above ground in Osaka Station (Umekita area). Full opening is scheduled for spring 2025.

Commercial facility connecting “Grand Green Osaka” and JR Osaka Station

Grand Green Osaka (formerly Umekita Phase 2 Development Project) is a large-scale mixed-use development project underway on the site of a former freight yard in front of Osaka Station. The “Umekita Project” started with Grand Front Osaka, which opened in 2013, and the second phase of the development project is “Grand Green Osaka,” which will include commercial facilities, hotels, offices, an urban park, etc. is being carried out.

*From the north side (grand staircase)

“Umekita Green Place” will serve as the “gateway” facing JR Osaka Station in the “Grand Green Osaka” area, creating a plaza rich in greenery and a lively and relaxing space. The aim is to be an urban shopping center that supports a high-quality, enriched lifestyle for people who commute around JR Osaka Station, including office workers and visitors to the area. The company plans to open 20 stores.

1st floor: Easy-to-drop-in merchandise stores and take-out restaurants

*From the west side (pilotis space)

The 1st floor is directly connected to the ground exit of Osaka Station (Umekita area), and serves as a transportation hub for the Umekita area “Grand Green Osaka”, and there are merchandise stores where station users who don’t have time can easily stop by, as well as the adjacent “Gran Green Osaka”. We will open a food store with a takeout menu that will please the users of Umekita Park.

2nd floor: Urban food court, cafes, etc.

*From the east side (atrium space)

The second floor, which is connected to JR Osaka Station by a pedestrian deck, is lined with reasonably priced urban food courts, cafes, and eateries that also serve take-out shops. It will be a place where surrounding office workers and visitors can casually drop by on a daily basis.

3rd floor: Bistro and Italian restaurant where you can enjoy a relaxing meal

The third floor, the top floor, will feature high-quality restaurants that take advantage of the lush open space, including bistros, Italian restaurants, and bars, including stores opening for the first time in western Japan. You can relax and enjoy your meal in a comfortable space.

Pedestrian deck also opened

*From the North Gate Building side

In preparation for the opening of Umekita Green Place, a pedestrian deck will be opened in September 2024 that will connect it to the existing Osaka Station direction (North Gate Building). Furthermore, we will continue to develop the station square around Osaka Station to improve the terminal function.
