Shinsaibashi-suji Shopping Street

Exploring the Shinsekai Area (Shinsekai Market → Tsutenkaku Tower → Billiken Statue) The "museum-like" alley offers a virtual experience of Osaka's center as it existed over 80 years ago. It's astonishing how much history you can uncover in this narrow alley, spanning just 1.2 meters in width. The artwork adorning the walls creates a unique ambiance, transporting visitors back to bygone days. Exiting the alley, we'll visit a quaint temple nestled between Namba's bright neon signs and bustling shopping streets. Stepping into this temple feels like journeying from the modern era back in time. Taking a moment to delve into Osaka's history provides a brief respite before we proceed to a local Okonomiyaki restaurant in the Dotonbori area!

    Our guide Kiyomi was great. She made the group of strangers feel very comfortable with her warm personality and her energy. There was a lot of walking which was good with all the food and beer we consumed. Having a guide to introduce us to and lead us through the maze of the entertainment area was especially helpful.

  • Highly recommend!
