Horie is perhaps the most refined and high-class area of Osaka, full of shops (including fashion, general goods, furniture), cafes and so on.
If the nearby “America mura” is the place for rebellious young people, then Horie is the place for trendy young people.
Horie is more open and spacious in comparison to the other busy parts of Osaka, with a relaxed atmosphere suited to shopping, food or simply walking the streets.
Orange St, originally centered on furniture stores, is now lined with stores from many of Japan’s main fashion brands.
