[2025 Osaka Attraction] Travel Guide for Shinsekai Market (Updated Mar)

Jumbo-tsuribune Tsurikichi is one of the most unique restaurants we have tried in Osaka. It is located in Shinsekai where there is a famous observation tower called Tsutenkaku. The concept of this restaurant is interesting where you get to catch your own meal with fishing rods and nets provided. You get to choose whether you’d like to have the fish grilled or in a hot pot. Food was pretty good with a huge variety from the menu. We got some fresh squid to grill and once grilled with butter it was delicious. We also ordered homemade tofu, udon, tempura and those were yummy too. Price wise, it wasn’t the cheapest but I guess you are paying for the experience. I would recommend coming here if you’re looking for somewhere fun to dine with family or a group of friends. #tripblazers

#Osaka Attractions Hidden at the foot of Tsutenkaku, Osaka Shinsekai Market is a century-old shopping street that began in the Taisho era. This was once a bustling commercial center, but now it has a strong Showa retro style. Wandering through it, you’ll see red lanterns swaying, vendors selling second-hand clothes, nostalgic items, and the leopard print clothing store that became famous on TV. Every step you take is like stepping into a time tunnel. In recent years, the market's hawker street project has made the nights lively, with tourists and locals sitting around the stalls and the aroma of barbecue wafting in the air, creating a unique otherworldly atmosphere. Standing here, I feel the warmth of life of ordinary people in Osaka. Those old shops carry stories of the years, which makes people want to stay a little longer and savor this uniqueness. Access: 3 minutes walk from Ebisucho Station on the Sakaisuji Subway Line or 10 minutes walk from Shin-Imamiya Station on the JR Line #New World Market #Osaka Travel #Retro Style #Common People’s Life

#japantrip #osaka #shinsekai #travel #japan #summer #thingstodo #nightlife Shinsekai is a magical place to visit after the sun sets, where neon lights, bustling streets, and the scent of street food fill the air.
