Tourist Information NAMBA

Reviewed By Michael_dlr - Manila, Philippines

Especially if its your first time, commuting around Osaka can be really stressful and confusing so make sure to visit this place before riding the next train to your intended destination. They'll provide you with maps, refer you to the correct ticket offices, tell you if you're on the correct line, etc.

Hozenji Yokocho

Harkening back to the quieter, more intimate Osaka of the 19th century, small food shops and historic souvenir purveyors lie under paper lanterns on each side of the narrow, stone-paved lane.

Reviewed By ChooiT - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Wander around the alleys in this area- you'll feel like you've walked into the past and you'll find some gems. Along the covered walkway there are alleys leading off. The lead into small pockets of old Japan with shrines, temples and quaint little restaurants

Visited Takashimaya in Osaka in November 2019. Along with Mitsukoshi, Takashimaya is known as the very high end department store in Japan. Went to the restaurant floors and dined at Tsuruya Japanese restaurant. They served Kaiseki type Japonessa food and it was great! Many other good restaurants to choose from.

Was here 1st week of June 2019 with my family. Stayed at at the nearby Hotel Yuki Nipponbashi. Its a busy and covered shopping street with lots of interesting things to see. Lots of restaurants, too. Inside is also the most fluffy cheesecake ever--Uncle Rikuro, which I bought for only JPY725! There are a myriad things to see here since its a mix of different stores. Lots of cosmetics and drugstores and there is also a McDonalds, I believe. The place is open till late at night, although some establishments close at around 9 or 10 pm. A great experience indeed! Will surely come back to this area.

Kamigata Ukiyoe Museum

This museum showcases Osakan woodblocks from the Edo period, distinct from those in Tokyo due to their realistic expression of their subjects. Many feature famous Kabuki actors of the period.

Highly recommended cheap option for culture in Namba. 500 yen to go, and ignore the previous reviews - they suggested we took photos - just without flash. I wish I'd known about the opportunity to print my own!
