 | | Shinsaibashi East This area, which begins at the Sony Tower building just east of Midosuji Boulevard, at Shinsaibashi station on the Midosuji line, and extends southward to the Dotonbori river, is known as ‘Europe Village’. |
 | | Shinsaibashi West On the other side of Midosuji Boulevard, beginning with the area behind the Hotel Nikko and extending south to the Dotonbori river, is ‘American Village’, so named because of the large number of small shops that sell American fashion goods. |
