[2024 Osaka Attraction] Travel Guide for Shinsekai (Updated Oct)

Shinsekai in Osaka

This area is definitely worth a visit, the streets are filled with japanese restaurants that are not too expensive.I would go to this place late afternoon for the shopping, lots of cool stuff. Then when it gets dark all the signs light up and its a beautiful area. Don't forget to go to the top of the tower, its cheap and the sights are great! Bring a postcard or something with you because there are a bunch of stamps you can collect up there.

Osaka Japan

#celebratewithtrip if you are going to Osaka Japan you can consider staying here for about 2-3 nights. some places you can consider to visit would be the famous dotonburi. over here there is an ichiran ramen shop which I suggest you try as the ramen is really good but please be patient as there will be a long queue and you will need to wait. but turnaround time is quite fast so not to worry about that. visiting shinsekai should also be on your list as the night neon lights make everything quite pretty hence it is good for pictures. I also visited the Osaka castle. the structure is nice and you can take many beautiful pictures here.

Amazing day in Osaka

1. Osaka Castle Highlights - Beautiful castle with big park and fortress around it. Inside there are exhibitions about samurais and Tokugawa period, very interesting. But do note the queue can be quite long during peak days and periods. Go to the top of the castle for a panoramic view of Osaka 2. Shitennoji Highlights - Very zen temple in Osaka and beautiful pagoda. Walk around and experience the zen atmosphere and learn about Buddhism in Japan. 3. Shinsekai Highlights - This place has old town vibes and please try the delicious fried skewers there 4.

Explore Osaka with Locals | citywalk through Shinsekai

| citywalk through Shinsekai. 🚶🏻‍♂️ Shinsekai in Osaka is a very interesting neighborhood. The landmark building here, Tsutenkaku Tower, stands at 103 meters tall and is very conspicuous, visible at a glance. Underneath Tsutenkaku, there are numerous interconnected streets and alleys filled with small shops, exuding a nostalgic and lively atmosphere, reminiscent of a manga setting. . 🤩 At night, as Tsutenkaku lights up, the small shops in the alleys also light up their beautiful signs. Some shops have such grand displays that they resemble the lanterns of Zigong, making them perfect for photos. If you climb the 103-meter-high observation deck of Tsutenkaku, you can enjoy a panoramic view of Osaka. . 🌟 I stayed at OMO7 Osaka, where there is a free daily 'guide' taking guests on a citywalk around the hotel to explore the local vibe. This time, with the OMO Ranger from OMO7 Osaka, I unlocked many interesting details of the Shinsekai area mentioned above, including century-old coffee shops, animal-patterned clothing stores for photo ops, numerous okonomiyaki, takoyaki, and kushikatsu shops, and spots where you can capture the reflection of Tsutenkaku... and more, showcasing a unique Osaka style. . 🔴 The daily citywalk at OMO7 Osaka only requires a reservation at the front desk in advance. Just gather at the big map in the hotel at the appointed time, and the New World exploration experience is free. . In addition to the guided citywalk, OMO7 Osaka offers a variety of rich activities every day, making it hard to keep up. . 🎇 The neon light art at night is a summer delight. Besides watching electronic fireworks projected on buildings, there are freshly grilled takoyaki and eggplant beer, adding a touch of romance. Kids can participate in making lanterns, stamping, watching woodcarvers at work, and more. Overall, the nightlife is very diverse. . 🍲 Besides the dazzling OMO Dining, the simple and delicious OMO Cafe & Bar is more convenient. There are several set meals to choose from. I like to take my breakfast to the garden lawn. Eating breakfast while watching the kids play on the grass makes for a pleasant and energetic morning. . 🛏️ The rooms at OMO7 Osaka are great, with 4 comfortable beds offering good privacy, plus a large glass window providing excellent lighting. The large table in the middle is where we chat and plan our outings... Having such a spacious room in Japan feels almost luxurious. . 🥰 I love the youthful vibe of OMO7 Osaka. Most of the services are self-service, including check-in and check-out, picking up toiletries, and storing luggage, which makes me feel very young and energetic. However, during dinner, while enjoying a special meal set, I also experienced attentive and meticulous service, offering everything one could need. 💪🏻 . 📍 Osaka, Japan, just a 200-meter walk from Shin-Imamiya Station

Evening Osaka is beautiful!! After a long flight, it is better to save your strength for the next day, explore the surroundings, choose a good cafe for breakfast. In the Shinsekai area you can find everything from noisy bars to cafes with tasty, inexpensive food. So I did - walked around, took a bunch of beautiful photos, and later ate the most delicious ramen. #osakatrip

Shinsekai ☝🏻

Amazing

Japan | Osaka | The King of Cyberpunk | Shinsekai Motomachi Shopping Street

My favorite commercial street in Osaka, Japan, is not Shinsaibashi or Dotonbori, but the more distinctive Shinsekai Motomachi Shopping Street. This modern Showa-style world mixed with nostalgic neon lights is truly enchanting. ⛰【Travel Guide】 📍Detailed address: This place is also known as Tsutenkaku, the landmark is an observation tower located at 1-18-6 Ebisuhigashi, Naniwa Ward, standing 103 meters tall, and the shopping street below is the Shinsekai district. 🕙Opening hours: 24 hours 💰Ticket price: Free 🌟Highlights: 👉There are many attractions in the standard Osaka tour itinerary, and Shinsaibashi and Dotonbori are usually must-visit places, mainly for shopping and dining. If you want to buy high-end luxury goods, you should go to Minami or near Osaka Station. Few people have heard of Shinsekai and Tsutenkaku for shopping. In fact, this place is a very suitable spot for internet celebrities to take photos, especially at night. The exaggerated neon lights, combined with the unique tower in the background, are classic scenes that appear in many manga, and have a very Showa-era historical background. In fact, Shinsekai and Tsutenkaku do have a century of history of rise and fall. 👉This area was once one of the earliest in Japan to learn from the West, modeled after famous districts in Paris and New York, and also became a model district in Japan before World War II. After the war, the economy was depressed, a fire occurred, and the first generation Tsutenkaku was burned down. This area also became a slum and the place with the worst public order. During the economic recovery of the Showa era, the second generation Tsutenkaku was built, and the surrounding blocks began to thrive again, filled with various food shops, featuring fried skewers with beer (the original Kushikatsu), and the shops in the demonstration district were gorgeous and exaggerated, very characteristic of old Japanese shops. When night falls, the ultimate splendor makes it an excellent background for photography. 👉Besides restaurants, there are various drugstores, souvenir shops for tourists, and strangely, there are many shooting game stores in Japan (this form is rare in China), and occasionally you can see old-fashioned arcade stores, millet shops, and so on. It's actually very interesting. Walking to Namba from here (just about ten minutes), there are also many shops. Staying in a hotel nearby is actually a very good choice. 📌Little Tips: Let me introduce the most famous Kushikatsu here. The way to eat it is to order the fried skewers first. Since the sauce container is shared by everyone, you can only dip once before putting it in your mouth, otherwise, it becomes everyone eating your saliva, so don't dip the sauce again after taking a bite. If you don't follow public hygiene and get kicked out, don't blame me for not reminding you. This way of eating is not found in China, so pay attention if it's your first time here.

Shinsekai, located in Osaka, Japan, is a vibrant, retro district known for its nostalgic atmosphere. Established in 1912, it features Tsutenkaku Tower, inspired by Paris's Eiffel Tower. The area offers a mix of vintage charm and street food delights, particularly kushikatsu, making it a unique cultural and culinary destination.

Welcome to the "New World" in Osaka 🇯🇵

#wheretogo This iconic area is one of the most famous place to visit in Osaka travel. Shinsekai, also known as "New World" has a funky retro vibe and setting that sets you back in time, it was built in the 90s and it is a great place to hit the food, shopping, old arcade game machines and traditional festive games. It's located nearby the Tsütenkaku tower, you can't miss it! It's a very great place to feast till you drop with many cheap bars and local restaurants, the stores' designs are also very cool and insta-worthy. We tried the traditional shooting game (Shateki) normally found in festivals, it's very challenging and need good aiming to shoot the items down, but it's fun and once you shoot it down the shelf, it's yours!

The new world, although called the New World, has been seen to have a strong sense of old and broken. The New World was built in 1912. Its southern part mimics New York, the north mimics Paris, and the southeastern artisan Yokota is one of the representatives of the nostalgic lanes of the New World. It is said that because the geishers here played the Dazheng, the craftsmen Named after the sound of the piano, the official name is now Nanyangtong Shopping Street. After the reconstruction of Osaka after World War II, the artisan Heng Ding was once a favorite shopping street for locals. It still retains its original appearance. It is izakaya, Japanese rotisserie, grocery store and chess room filled with uncles. Very lively. One of Osaka's landmarks, the Tsutenkaku, is located in the northern part of the New World. Although the tower that leads to the sky looks a bit sloppy, it is the nostalgic complex of many Osaka people. bought a crepe in a dessert shop and recorded the birth of a crepe with a lens. Now put the prepared noodle into the preheated round cake pan, then roll the dough into a round shape with a roller, wait until it is cooked and removed. Squeeze the cream on the dough, add red beans, and ice cream, then roll into a tapered hand, add some cream to the remaining crust, then roll it out and roll it with paper. A crepe is like this. finished.

The iconic photo of Osaka New World is a photo of a giant puffer fish lantern and a photo taken by Tsutenkaku. It looks colorful and magnificent. In order to find this photo, we have to come here to see. When we arrived, the day was still dark, the lanterns were not bright, only the numerous wires in the sky were intertwined, and there were countless giant animal styling signs, while the big belly puffer lanterns hung in the middle of the road and looked very funny. The puffer fish lanterns correspond to the expensive puffer fish dishes. This puffer fish speciality shop is surrounded by blue waves and puffer lanterns. The most famous food in the New World is still fried skewers, which is the civilian cuisine of Osaka. Here, there is the Japanese sashimi called "Shu " (the front of the door stands the Blessing of the gods), and there are also the ancestors of the ancestral sizzling shop "the first generation ? ", and the series of fried squid is very rich.? (The signboard is a chef standing with two fried slings standing there, with a serious expression), and the dumpling shop Osaka King, as well as a game hall, barber shop, etc. Just go to a fried skewer and you'll be able to eat authentic fried skewers.
