Shopping Mecca
The Hep Five is a popular shopping centre in Osaka dedicated almost entirely to fashion-forward women and accessories, although it has some unisex sports shops, fashion shops for men, jewellery etc.. It is one of the meccas of "Shopping" in Japan. The design of the building itself is striking from the outside, as it has a wheel that goes through the middle. It is in Kita-ku and is accessible from the Umeda subway or walking from JR Osaka station, which is beside it.
