Description

TRAVEL BACK IN TIME TO THIS LOCAL ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT FOR A TASTE OF VINTAGE OSAKA. FOOD AND CULTURE DATING BACK TO THE 1920S-1950S JAPAN

The Shinsekai district is unique â€' there is nothing really like it anywhere OTHERWISE in Japan. The neighborhood dates back to the early 1900s and grew in popularity through the post-war 'Showa' era until the 1960s. An exploration in this colorful neighborhood really is very 'Local-Osaka'. It's always so much fun, at any time of day!

Though people visit from across Japan and around the world, this area is still very much a locals' spot- with many shops, restaurants, and gaming parlors catering to the everyday laborers who live nearby. This retro district is full of inexpensive local dining and entertainment options. Take a stroll with our local expert and we will show you the hidden gems and explain the colorful past history of Shinsekai through the years. You will get to try different local dishes at 4 different shops. Each item has a long history in the Osaka area. Shinsekai evokes the SHOWA era in Japan which was full of optimism, growth, and a communal sense of building a better future together. There is a lot of romance and nostalgia about this period in modern Japanese history. This vintage neighborhood brings back all the charm of the 1910s through the 1960s a boom period for Osaka City.

Highlight of the trip

Could not have gone better. More accessible than it looks, you do not need to be fit. We had enough time at Shinsekai de Osaka to really enjoy it. One of the best things we have booked online.

Highlight of the trip

One of the highlights of our trip to Osaka. We used finish up with a yummy local dessert! the whole time and it worked perfectly. A printed map was missing, everything relied on the phone. An experience worth every minute.

I would do it again, though I would change a couple of things. They dropped us at Shinsekai de Osaka with no detours. For what we paid, it is exceptional value. Everything was handled digitally, nothing to print. We waited about fifteen minutes longer than agreed. A good experience on balance.

We came away delighted. Osaka Shinsekai ended up in all our photos. Easy going, you do not need to be fit for it. The round Trip Hotel Transfers detail adds a lot. We would book again.
