I got some questions from the guests
"I want to go somewhere today, but not so much touristy place, is there anywhere you recommend?"
I recommend “Tenjimbashi-Suji Shopping Street”.
If you want to see everyday life in Osaka.
It is
the longest roofed shopping street in Japan
- about 2.6km (1.6miles)!!!
 |
| This is the beginning of arcade at 6chome area. |
It runs from Tenjinbashi-suji 1chome to 7chome (chome is a kind of district) and you can find so many small shops and restaurants.
The reason why I recommend this place is that’s where I have been living this area for 16years!!
Each district has different atmosphere and I love specially around 5-6chome area.
The street is narrow from 6chome and 5chome and crowded with people and bicycle (people need to push their bike on this street, but not really....)
I will introduce some shops around this area.
 |
| Famous takoyaki shop "Wanaka". They serve fancy Takoyaki with beer or wine! |
 |
Reasonable price shop everywhere.
But if you go back there few days later, the shop is not there anymore because they rent a place temporally. |
 |
| 100yen shop and next door is the arcade(game center). |
 |
Shoes shop- any shoes 2000yen in this shop!
When I took my friend here, she found the shoes she wants but took long time to find her size, because there are shoes everywhere!
It was like a treasure hunting!! |
 |
|
Very famous Kushikatsu (Osaka food) restaurant |
 |
Popular Sushi restaurants
on the left is "Harukoma" and on the right "Sushi-Masa"at night you can see people line up.
They have a English menu. |
When you get to 4chome you feel you have more space to walk.
This is just a beginning of the arcade, so you can spend a day to walk around.
Open hours :Different by each shop
Holiday: Some shops close on Tuesday
How to get there
