When you come to this area, you must check in at Tsutenkaku Tower. If you are traveling around the city all day, we recommend buying the Osaka Amazing Pass. You can use it to enter for free. This area has shops, restaurants, and game shops on both sides. On the day we went, it was quite dark and many shops were closed. But my sister said that when you come to this area, there is a shop that you must not miss, which is the famous Kushikatsu shop. It is a shop that sells fried food on skewers. You can order a set or order each piece separately. In addition, there is also a shooting range nearby, a gambling shop to win prizes. We were unlucky, so we secretly looked at other people playing 😂 If anyone is interested, come by. I saw that some shops are open 24 hours. #triptravelchina #osakareview

Speaking of Osaka, "Shinsekai" is a famous core spot✨ The symbolic "Zuboraya" pufferfish lantern is gone, but this huge Billiken is waiting for you in Shinsekai✨ And this Billiken is in front of the "Kushikatsu Yokozuna" store~✨ Kushikatsu Yokozuna is a delicious Osaka restaurant with kushikatsu, okonomiyaki, mega steaks, and mixed juice✨ You have to go✨✨✨ #OsakaTourism #Osaka #Gourmet #Shinsekai #Billiken

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.

#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.

Janjan Yokocho, a core Osaka shopping street in Shinsekai, Osaka This is also a shopping street that you often see on TV and other media😊 Due to the influence of COVID-19, the atmosphere is not as crowded as it used to be, but long-established kushikatsu restaurants and sushi restaurants are still going strong.

Shinsekai, One of the most interesting neighborhoods in Osaka. Shinsekai was very prosperous in the early 20th century, and its entertainment venues and restaurants attracted many tourists and Osaka citizens at the time. Today, the shop is still well preserved. #Overseas Travel

Shinsekai is another popular area of ​​Osaka, which is also home to Tsutenkaku Tower, the symbol of Osaka. This area is considered a tourist area full of various foods. It has a retro atmosphere that is very charming here. This is also a center for Osaka's famous restaurants, such as Kushi-katsu, which is a skewered food coated in batter and fried. There are also Japanese temple fair-style rides to play. To get there, take the train and get off at Ebisucho Subway Station on the Sakaisuji Line (Exit 3), then walk for another 3 minutes to reach this area. #shinsekai #osaka

Osaka is a vibrant and charming city where history, modernity, and unique street culture blend together, offering surprises at every corner. During this trip, I visited Osaka Castle, Shinsekai, and the Umeda shopping district, and also sought out the famous Glico Running Man sign in Dotonbori. Each place left me with deep memories. First, I was amazed by the grandeur of Osaka Castle. Standing in front of it, I could feel the majesty and magnificence of this historical building. From the top of the main tower, I had a panoramic view of Osaka city, and especially in autumn and winter, the surrounding maple and ginkgo trees added a romantic and nostalgic atmosphere to the castle. Next, I arrived at Shinsekai, which was filled with the nostalgia of the Showa era. The Tsutenkaku Tower stood tall in the center of the street, surrounded by colorful neon signs and local specialty foods. The kushikatsu (fried skewers) here is a must-try, and paired with a cold draft beer, it was an unforgettable taste. Umeda is a paradise for shopping enthusiasts. High-end department stores, trendy clothing, electronics, and the latest products and a variety of choices can all be found here. Especially at the Floating Garden Observatory of the Umeda Sky Building, you can enjoy the most magnificent night view of Osaka, which was breathtaking. Lastly, I couldn't miss the Glico Running Man landmark in Dotonbori! Taking a photo in front of the neon sign and feeling the passion and energy of this city, I couldn't help but be captivated by the joyful atmosphere. Osaka is an unforgettable city. It is full of charm in every aspect, from food to shopping to culture. I look forward to visiting again and discovering more hidden surprises!
