What other travelers are saying about Shinsekai District
It’s a lovely small town to visit near main Osaka, does get busy by mid day, lovely market and a Pringles store!!! You can grab many souvenirs from the Pringles store.
You must come here at night. The area itself isn't too impressive but interesting to see at night. Unless you're eating here, you'll easily walk through it in less than an hour.
My only complaint is that it's a little dirty... In fact walking a little out of the way from this area (we had to take the subway) you'll find the streets dirtier than a trash can. This was one of the few places I really thought I was going to get mugged in Japan. I wish I could have taken a picture of it but I was walking really fast again, afraid I was going to get mugged if I lingered a little longer.
One of the most visited areas in Osaka besides Dotonbori. Lots of retro gaming stores, restaurants and stores. Unfortunately there was a fire in one of the gaming arcades here.
Probably the most iconic and famous tourist attraction in Osaka.
It is a photo spot with many restaurants and flashy billboards, and the pictures with Tsutenkaku Tower in them look great.
I wish we came here before Dotonbori because this area was so fantastic! Loved the restaurants had great quality cheap food and just looking at all the shops and sights was great. Plus the slide at Osaka Tower was exciting!
