ShinsekaiThis 3-hour food journey will start with a visit to the Shinto shrine in Shinsekai. You will learn how Shinto is related to the lives of Japanese people at this shrine, which millions visit every New Year season! As you step into the heart of Shinsekai, you'll encounter an old bustling commercial district with the Tsutenkaku Tower as its symbol. Over 60 years ago, when this 103-meter observation tower was built, it caused great excitement among the people of Osaka. Enjoying Kushi-katsu in the center of Shinsekai before heading to Dotonbori, you'll feel the nostalgic atmosphere of this town!
- Take photos in front of Tsutenkaku in Shinsekai The official character of Tsutenkaku Tower is “Billiken”. It is known as a tourist attraction and symbol tower of Osaka. The name “Tsutenkaku” means “a tall building that reaches to the heavens”[ and was named by Meiji-era Confucian scholar Fujisawa Nangaku. (pass by)

Shinsaibashi-suji Shopping StreetThe "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!
