Shinsekai

#osakaitineraryShinsekai, meaning “New World,” is a nostalgic district in Osaka with a unique blend of retro charm and vibrant street life. Developed in the early 20th century, its design was inspired by Paris and New York. At its heart stands Tsutenkaku Tower, an iconic symbol offering views of the city. The area is known for its affordable eateries, especially kushikatsu — deep-fried skewered foods. Bright signs, old-fashioned arcades, and quirky shops create a lively yet vintage atmosphere. Though slightly rough around the edges, Shinsekai offers a glimpse into Osaka’s past and is a favorite spot for locals and curious travelers alike.
