Osaka has thousands of different night views, but the neon lights of the Shinsekai shopping district are definitely the most fascinating! Walking into this street surrounded by retro signboards and bustling crowds, it feels like opening a "door to the Heisei era" Tips ✅ Equipment: Use the camera's "night scene mode" first, and remember to turn on "portrait mode + fill light" on your phone ✅ Time: 19:00-21:00 is the best time. When it is not completely dark, you can capture the layered feeling of "blues + neon". ✅ Outfit: Black/white basic color clothing is recommended to better highlight the color of the light ✅ Safety: The main streets are crowded, so remember to walk in groups in the alleys and keep your belongings safe Standing at the foot of Tsutenkaku and looking up, seeing the colorful lights reflected on the faces of passers-by, I suddenly understood why Osaka people say "The night in Shinsekai is addictive" - ​​every neon light here speaks of passion and freedom, and every stall hides inadvertent warmth. If you come to Osaka, please leave a night for the new world, let this sea of ​​lights take you to a midsummer night's dream in Kansai🌌 #Osaka Itinerary

#JapanTravel 📍Daikoushi ▫️Location: Ebisuhiga, Naniwa-ku, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture 3-2-18 大阪府 大阪市浪速区 恵美須東 3-2-18 A long-established sushi restaurant located in Shinsekai that most Osakans know is a good value sushi restaurant Actually, I didn't plan on eating sushi, but I discovered it while watching traditional Japanese archery around Tsutenkaku The simple and sentimental exterior, the meticulous hands that caress the sushi, the friendly aunt, the customers who filled the small interior, the cheap and diverse menu, and the best taste, it was definitely a good restaurant 🚘Directions ▫️300m walk from Shin-Imamiya Ekimae Station #JapanTravel #Tsutenkaku #ShinsekaiRestaurants

Introducing the iconic scenery of Dotonbori, a symbol of Osaka~ Regardless of whether it's a weekday or weekend, the area is always bustling with crowds. Surprisingly, it wasn't too difficult to secure a spot at the photo zone in front of the Glico sign based on my experience 🤷🏻☺️ The most famous department store billboard features iconic characters, showcasing Japan's reputation as an animation powerhouse. The massive Don Quijote store was also quite impressive, but the highlight was undoubtedly the dazzling billboards, including the ones proudly displaying Host No. 1, 2, and 3. This was Dotonbori, the most vibrant district in Osaka, Japan^^

#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

Shinsekai district is a nightlife district that is like another important landmark of Osaka. The name Shinsekai can be translated directly as "new world", which probably means the new world of Osaka. Importantly, coming here is more than just shopping. Because there is also Tsutenkaku Tower, which is like a symbol of Shinsekai district, located in the middle. This place is really lively at night. Let me tell you that there are many shops. This area also has a narrow street called Jan Jan Yokocho, which is a gathering place for Japanese people to eat and drink. There are many foods, sweets, and snacks for you to try. And in this area, there are many souvenir shops to choose from. Many people who go here will see a smiling monkey figure in various corners. That is Billikan, or the God of Fortune, who is another symbol of this area. Because it is a very famous eating and drinking spot at night, this area is full of local style shops. The famous food of this area that you must not miss is: Kushikatsu (kushikatsu) is a deep-fried skewer dish consisting of chicken, beef, pumpkin and bamboo shoots. For dessert, there are also fried bananas and ice cream. Most shops are open 24 hours. #shinsekai

After seeing the night view from Tsutenkaku, go through Denden Town, eat at Kuromon Market, and go to the Glico sign in Dotonbori. Osaka is always bustling with tourists.

#NovemberTravelSupportEvent Address: 2 Chome-5-9 Ebisuhigashi, Naniwa Ward, Osaka, 556-0002 Japan This is Shinsekai Kushikatsu Gifuya Honke that I visited when I went to Shinsekai, Osaka~ It was convenient because I could order using QR even though there was no separate Korean menu, and the food came out quickly after ordering, so I didn't have to wait long ㅎㅎ I recommend this place because it's good for a quick fried food and a beer!

#NewYorkFlightEvent Address: 3 Chome-4-36 Ebisuhigashi, Naniwa Ward, Osaka, 556-0002 Japan I visited Mega Don Quijote Shinsekai, which is directly connected to Exit 5 of Dobutsuenmae Station in Osaka, Japan. Unlike regular Don Quijote, it is Mega Don Quijote, which boasts a huge scale as its name suggests. There are so many products that you have to look at the map to find them, so please take a look when you travel!

Shinsekai Street is a popular tourist destination for those who want to see Tsutenkaku. However, did you know that Shinsekai Street in front of Tsutenkaku is actually a hot place?? Shinsekai Street is a popular street for both tourists and locals, where you can enjoy kushikatsu and beer that are cheaper and of better quality than Dotonbori! I actually liked Shinsekai Street, which has a real Osaka vibe, better than Dotonbori, which is surrounded by tourists.

If you are traveling to Osaka, Japan, come to Shinsekai and take a picture with Tsutenkaku in the background. Dotonbori and Umeda are famous, but I like this place better than those places. Many people stay in Namba or Nipponbashi, but if you come down from there, you can pass Kuromon Market and Denden Town, and it is right there. The Tsutenkaku slide is also fun. If you buy a gas pass, you can ride it with the gas pass. There is a Mega Don Quijote and Daiso within 5 minutes of the place where the picture was taken, so you can shop too. #JapanTravel #OsakaTravel #Tsutenkaku #Shinsekai #MegaDonQuijote

Osaka's unique streetscape is perfect for snapshots! Vibrant streets, crowded signs and climbs, and advertisements for huge stores! Enjoy taking photos of such unique streets. The recommended shooting method is shooting using the compression effect! ︎ 💡What is the compression effect? The compression effect is a phenomenon in which the sense of perspective is shortened when shooting with a telephoto lens, making the distance between subjects appear closer than they actually are. Another characteristic is that the background appears larger. 💡How do you take it? The shooting method to get the compression effect is to use a telephoto lens or zoom lens to shoot a distant subject. If you place a sufficient distance between the subject and the camera, and place the background far away as well, the distance between the subject and the background will appear to be shortened. By increasing the focal length, you can take a photo that emphasizes the subject and pulls in the background. For now, try taking a photo with the most zoomed setting on your smartphone or camera. If the part you want to move is not in the frame, leave the zoom as it is and move until the part you want to move is in the frame. Also, monochrome and sepia photos have a nice feel to them and are fun to take. You're sure to take Showa retro photos! Fun photo spots with a compression effect ◆Dotonbori: A downtown area that can be said to be a symbol of Osaka, with the Glico sign and the giant crab sign of Kani Douraku as landmarks. There are many restaurants and you can enjoy Osaka specialties such as takoyaki and kushikatsu. At night, the neon lights shine and the atmosphere is lively. ◆Shinsekai: An area with a retro atmosphere, with attractive streets that retain the Showa era. Janjan Yokocho, where famous kushikatsu restaurants are lined up, is famous, and you can enjoy the view from Tsutenkaku. This spot is loved by tourists and locals alike. ◆Shinsaibashi: A shopping area located in the center of Osaka, with a wide variety of shops from luxury brands to casual shops. Shinsaibashi-suji Shopping Street has an arcade, so you can enjoy shopping comfortably even on rainy days. There are also plenty of cafes and restaurants, so you can enjoy gourmet food to your heart's content. #OsakaTrip2024

Osaka's famous kushikatsu! If you go to Tsutenkaku, go to Shinsekai near Tsutenkaku. There is a kushikatsu street in Shinsekai. It is a skewer made by frying various vegetables, shrimp, etc. They fry it right away, so it is crispy and goes well with beer. If you go to Tsutenkaku, I recommend you stop by. #Delicacy #Japan #Tsutenkaku #Shinsekai #Kushikatsu

Speaking of Osaka, mixed juice 🍹 I visited Sennari-ya, which is said to be the birthplace of the dish! ! I went there in the evening on the first day, but they only serve drinks, so I gave up and went back the next day, but I ended up being full and only ordered mixed juice 🥺 I was able to do it on the first day, but I thoroughly enjoyed the mixed juice ♡ I haven't had many mixed juices at stores, but it was so delicious that I thought I could drink as many as I wanted! ! It's in Shinsekai, so if you're in that area, please try it 🥰🫶 🕰️Business hours: 11:30-19:00 (Saturdays and Sundays 9:00-19:00) 📍Address: 3-4-15 Ebisu Higashi, Naniwa-ku, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture 556-0002 #0 yen trip

#familytrips2024 Our family trip to Shinsekai in Osaka was a vibrant and memorable experience. We explored the retro charm of the area, with its colorful streets and eclectic mix of shops and eateries. The kids loved the views from Tsutenkaku Tower and playing games at the vintage arcades. We enjoyed trying various local street foods, immersing ourselves in the lively atmosphere. For our next family trip, I suggest Kyoto. It's close to Osaka and offers a rich tapestry of cultural and historical experiences. We can visit majestic temples, enjoy traditional tea ceremonies, and take leisurely strolls through beautiful gardens. Kyoto's blend of cultural depth and family-friendly activities makes it an ideal destination.

#Sakura2024 Osaka's Shinsekai area means "new world". It started with the National Industrial Exposition in 1903 in this area. The area was developed and Tsutenkaku Tower (通天閣) was built as a prominent landmark, followed by parks and other buildings. It can be compared to the creation of a new world. Although this area is quite quiet during the day, it is very lively at night. We chose to go in the afternoon and evening to take pictures of Tsutenkaku Tower from different angles and then stopped by Jan Jan Yokocho, a place where restaurants and bars gather. Each shop is decorated with bright lights and eye-catching mascarpments. The famous food you must try is Kushikatsu, or fried food on skewers. We chose to go to Daruma, or the fierce-looking uncle's shop that Thais know well. I love the creativity that anything can be skewered, coated in batter and fried, from tuna, pork, chicken, lotus root, all kinds of vegetables, and many more. Let's have a big set and try it out for fun.
