EasyTicket Kitahama Retro
📍 Japan Osaka 기타하마
Kitahama Retro is a cafe in a historic building close to Kitahama Station. Its red-brick exterior and English tea-room atmosphere make it a good rest stop after a walk around Nakanoshima.
Since this is mainly a cafe, prices and menu items can vary by visit. Your stay will feel different depending on whether you're going for the atmosphere of a registered cultural property building or for afternoon tea.

Useful tips
- Pair it with Nakanoshima Rose Garden, and the flow from walk to cafe break feels natural.
- If afternoon tea is your main goal, waiting and dining can take longer, so it is better in the middle of the day than at the very end of your itinerary.
- When planning, it can be hard to decide whether to visit just the cafe or pair it with a Nakanoshima walk. The official guide lists both a 1-minute walk from Kitahama Station and views of Nakanoshima Rose Garden, so the walk-then-break route feels natural.
- If afternoon tea is the goal, your stay may be longer than a regular cafe break. Hours and holidays can change, so double-check against the official guide.
