Amerikamura

Amerikamura (also America mura; アメリカ村, American Village) is a sizable retail and entertainment area near Shinsaibashi in the Chūō-ku district of Osaka, Japan.

Amerikamura is an area stretching from Nagahori Street to Dotonbori, located in the west side of the Shinsaibashi station.

[1] Amerikamura is identifiable by a small-scale reproduction of the Statue of Liberty that peers down on the streets.

Locally, Ame-mura is known for being a place for observing some of the more "fashion intense" manifestations of Japanese pop culture.

In 1983, the "Peace on Earth" mural was painted in Amerikamura by artist Seitaro Kuroda.
