The most retro corner of Osaka: Tsutenkaku and Shinsekai shopping district

The Tsutenkaku shopping district is completely different from the modern feeling of Shinsaibashi and Umeda. Walking into this place is like entering another time and space. The streets are not wide. There are dense signs. There are also many large three-dimensional billboards. The whole style is very "Showa-style". It is not only popular with tourists. Many locals also come here to eat fried skewers. The batter is crispy but not greasy. The sauce is placed in a public stainless steel box. Remember "no repeat dip!" It is very disciplined. When the lights are on at night, the whole Shinsekai shopping street is particularly atmospheric. It is a bit like the old night market in Taiwan, but more retro and more colorful. If you like old Osaka, nostalgic scenery or want to take some special street scenes, this place is worth a visit. #7月好去处2025 #大坂 #大坂之旅
