If you’ve ever been to Osaka’s Namba area, you’ve probably seen a building called “Namba Marui (OIOI).” Marui is a shopping complex operated by Marui Co., Ltd. (丸井) in Japan, featuring a variety of fashion brands and cafés targeting younger generations. Nearby are Takashimaya(高島屋) Department Store and the Edion(エディオン) electronics retailer, making this area one of Osaka’s most popular shopping districts.

Galaxy Studio Osaka is located on the first floor of Namba Marui. Admission is free, and no reservation is required. However, for services such as device repairs, it is recommended to make a reservation in advance.

Galaxy Experience Area

The store displays Samsung Galaxy’s latest devices, including the Galaxy Z Fold, Z Flip, Watch, and Watch Classic. Visitors can pick up the products, try them out freely, and get a real feel for their design and usability. The staff kindly explain the features and usage that best suit each visitor’s needs, so both first-time Galaxy users and long-time fans can enjoy the experience comfortably.

What impressed me the most was the staff’s perfect sense of distance. They were neither too distant nor overly attentive, creating a natural and relaxed atmosphere. Thanks to their thoughtful explanations, I discovered various Galaxy smartphone features I hadn’t known before. It was more than just a hands-on trial — it was an experience that helped me truly understand the strengths of Samsung Galaxy.

Among the many features of Samsung Galaxy, what impressed me the most was definitely the camera. I had heard countless comments from Galaxy users overseas praising its photo quality, but after trying out the zoom function myself, I finally understood why people say “Galaxy is essential for fandom life.”

Enjoy High-Performance Gaming with Galaxy

Galaxy offers a smooth gaming experience for even the most demanding titles, thanks to its latest chipset and excellent heat management system. Even games like “Genshin Impact,” which require high graphics and memory performance, run seamlessly, allowing long gaming sessions without lag.

I’ve always loved playing games — I even changed my smartphone once just to play better — and recently, as mobile games have become more demanding, it has become difficult to enjoy them smoothly on ordinary smartphones or tablets.

However, with Galaxy’s powerful performance and stable thermal control, even high-spec games can be played effortlessly, and if you prefer, you can also connect it to a large monitor for an immersive, big-screen experience.

A Special Galaxy Sale You Don’t Want to Miss

On one side of Samsung Galaxy Studio Osaka, located on the first floor of Namba Marui in Osaka, there was a sale corner. It’s unclear whether it’s a permanent setup, but in Japan, Galaxy occasionally holds limited-time sale events. During these events, products can be purchased at prices slightly lower than the regular retail price. If you’re thinking about buying a Galaxy device, I recommend checking the official Samsung Galaxy website or visiting Galaxy Studio Osaka to see if any sales are currently available.

When I visited the store to purchase my Galaxy, there wasn’t a sale event at the time. Since I couldn’t wait for the next one, which could happen at any time, I decided to buy the Galaxy Ultra at full price.

In the case of the Samsung Galaxy Watch, there are so many types of straps that it can be hard to decide which one to choose. If you’re thinking about purchasing a Galaxy Watch, it might be a good idea to consider the material, color, and design of the strap you want before visiting Galaxy Studio Osaka.

Personally, I prefer simple designs, so I’ve purchased similar styles in multiple colors and often change the strap to match the season or the color of the clothes I’m wearing that day. Among all Galaxy accessories, the watch strap is especially a great item because it allows you to express your personal taste and individuality.

If you feel that genuine Galaxy accessories alone aren’t enough to express your individuality, why not customize your own Galaxy accessory?

By adding embroidered initials or small decorations to your strap, you can create a one-of-a-kind original mobile accessory found nowhere else in the world. With an item that truly reflects your personality, you can further enjoy the spirit of “My Galaxy.” Even if you’re not a Galaxy user or haven’t purchased a device, you can still design your own personalized smartphone accessory.
