    The Osaka Museum of Housing and Living, which opened in 2001, is located in Tenjinbashi in the Kita Ward of Osaka City. The Museum is focused on the cultural and historical aspects of how people in Osaka lived during the period from the latter part of the Edo period through to the Showa period. The ninth floor of the Museum building features a row of life-size replica buildings facing onto a “main road,” including Machiya shop-houses, stores, a firewatching tower, etc.; visitors can enjoy strolling around this recreation of an Osaka street scene from days gone by.

    Japan’s first hands-on learning museum for children, Kids Plaza Osaka is dedicated to helping children experience new things and emotions through play and to extend the possibilities and individuality of children.

    "A 15-minute walk from Minami-morimachi Subway Station, the museum is marked by Japan's first gas lamp. Originally built in 1911 as a thermal power station, the building was refurbished into the Mint Museum and now is the only brick western-style building remaining from the Meiji period (1868-1912) on the premises. On the second floor, there are exhibits on the history of the Mint and prize medals awarded to athletes at the Tokyo and Nagano Olympics, etc., as well as an ""Experience Corner"", where visitors can touch gold and silver bullion bars. On the third floor, various coins from around the world are illuminated by LED and displayed. A reading room for further information is also open to the public to learn more about currency."
