Enjoy the New World to the Fullest!! Experience the essence of Osaka in Shinsekai.

Shinsekai is a very popular tourist destination!
Of course, there are many tourists, but you can also feel the essence of Osaka with locals drinking at standing bars from the morning, enjoying kushikatsu, motsu stew, and old-fashioned cafes.

[Recommendations]
○ You must try kushikatsu!
→ Unlike the kushikatsu you find in Kanto, the batter here is lighter and incredibly delicious. The top recommendation is [Yaekatsu]!! Recently, there are often long lines, and you might have to wait about an hour during lunchtime on weekends. However, it's definitely worth the wait! Since you can't make reservations, if you don't want to wait, going early in the morning might have shorter lines, but there are still queues before opening.

○ Stop by a café
→ There are many old-fashioned cafes where you can enjoy fruit sandwiches, pudding, and the famous Osaka mixed juice. You can fully savor the retro atmosphere.

○ Enjoy Smart Ball
→ In Shinsekai, there are many places to play games like shooting galleries, ring toss, and recently, archery and shuriken throwing. Among them, the old-fashioned Smart Ball is particularly fun, costing just 100 yen to play, and you can exchange your winnings for snacks. Note that those under 18 are not allowed to enter, so be careful.
