Searching again…
I love the train stations here because they could be adjacent to department stores or shōtengai (商店街). The Shin-Osaka station is one of my favorites. It’s neither close to a mall nor shōtengai but the station building itself has many small shops and restaurants. I always drop by the Uniqlo shop and see if they have some stuffs that are on sale. In front of the Uniqlo shop was this small drugstore where I always buy the best acne treatment I’ve ever used. The prices there were generally cheaper than the others. Unfortunately, the location is currently under renovation and I forgot to buy an extra tube of my acne cream! I’ve searched through many stores but couldn’t find one. It’s really a wonder why it’s not available everywhere when that cream is manufactured by Shiseido.
