“Do you want to go to Minami for drinks now?”
Minami is a big downtown space that represents Osaka. The space is centered round Namba Station and is bustling with younger folks and now international vacationers.
Is it “Minami” as a result of it’s positioned within the “south” of Osaka?
Is it as a result of one other downtown space “Kita” is positioned within the north?
But in that case, what’s the commonplace? And what space are you referring to?
We investigated the origin of the title and the mysteries of the realm.
