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.
