Osaka Shinsekai Street Food Tour

Written By Arigato Travel

The Shinsekai district is unique — there is nothing really like it anywhere else in Japan. The neighborhood dates back to the early 1900s and grew in popularity through the post-war “Showa” era until the 1960s. An exploration in this colorful neighborhood really is very “Local-Osaka.” Though people visit from across Japan and around the world, this area is still very much a neighborhood spot- with many shops, restaurants, and gaming parlors catering to the everyday laborers who live nearby. This retro-district is full of inexpensive, local dining, and entertainment options. We will explore together and showcase the culinary history of this special area.
