I do often go the shotengai in higashi umeda, cause its mostly restaurant, or maybe that was another shotengai ...
Yes, you can see the elevated Nankai-Koya line in the upper left of the picture. So I guess that's a park now. But if you ask some of the locals, maybe they can tell you if the manga shop moved somewhere else or just went out of business.

I'm not sure if it's the same or not... I don't recall it having more restaurants than any other shotengai, but again, things may have changed in the last 10 years. Have you ever seen a used manga shop there, about 3 blocks or so south along the covered street, on the left hand side?
