More than 20 years after opening its first Apple Store in Osaka, Japan, Apple has unveiled its second, Apple Umeda, which opens on July 26.
The new store is part of a specific plan by Apple to open or remodel around 50 stores by 2027, and the new Apple Umeda was officially announced in early July 2025. Now the store has its own site, and Apple has revealed images of it, ahead of the opening at 10:00 A.M. local time on Saturday, July 26, 2025.
“I am very pleased to open Apple Umeda, a wonderful space that reflects the energy of the vibrant city of Osaka,” said Deirdre O’Brien, Apple’s senior vice president of retail and people, in a statement (in translation). “This new store is a place to walk with creative communities and local businesses in Kansai.”
“The store team is sincerely looking forward to deepening the connection with customers and delivering the appeal of Apple’s products and services,” she added.
Apple Umeda is around 2.4 miles away from Osaka’s first store, Apple Shinsaibashi. It lies north of that store and across the Dojima River, in a cultural and business section near Osaka Station and Osaka Umeda Station.
While Apple Shinsaibashi is entered from street level, and features a suspended spiral staircase, Apple Umeda is on the second floor of the Grand Front Osaka complex’s South Building.
