Amerikamura, or "American Village", is a small entertainment/retail area
of Minami in Osaka, Japan.
Amerikamura is identifiable by the small scale Statue of Liberty which peers
down on the streets. It is a well-known haunt of resident expatriate
Westerners (known as "gaijin" in Japanese), and centers on Triangle Park, a
concreted rest area surrounded by retail outlets of Western fashions, bars
and nightclubs, many of which are run by Westerners.
It is usually referred to by the diminutive "Ame-mura."
