    Osaka Osakashi Naniwa-ku Ebisuhigashi
    Located on the western side of the site where the fifth National Industrial Exhibition was held in 1903, the approximately 92 thousand square meter neighborhood of Shinsekai was created to be “new highlight” of Osaka. Just to the north of the center of the area, visitors can find the Tsutenkaku Tower. Janjan Yokocho Alley, located in the southeast of Shinsekai, is lined with shops selling Osaka specialties like kushikatsu (fried pork and onions on skewers) and doteyaki (beef sinew in miso and mirin). The retro atmosphere, reminiscent of the Showa period, makes Shinsekai an extremely popular tourist attraction.

    Osaka Osakashi Naniwa-ku Ebisuhigashi 3
    This is a shopping street in Naniwa Ward, Osaka City, located in the south eastern part of the Osaka sightseeing spot “Shinsekai” (New World). The official name is “Nan-yo-dori Shopping Street” but is affectionately called “Janjan” derived from the sound of shamisen that were played in the once red-light district. Places to play board games of shogi and go, as well as retro amusement shops are still operating today. There are several restaurants serving the New World specialty kushikatsu (skewers of fried food) and reasonably priced downtown gourmet and the area is becoming a popular spot for tourists.

    Tennoji Ward, Osaka-shi, Osaka
    The 100-meter-long shopping street is located on the western side of JR Tamatsukuri Station. Near Sanko Shrine, said to be where Sanada Maru was built, it became famous as a site connected to Yukimura Sanada. On the shopping street, there are life-sized panels of the Sanada 10 Braves, and it is decorated with bright red flag banners displaying Sanada's rokumonsen (six coins) emblem. At eateries with shop curtains on the street, there are many Yukimura Sanada-themed menus. Among them, there is also a photo studio where you can take photographs as Yukimura Sanada if you make a reservation.
