Shinsekai is like stepping into a retro, neon-lit time warp!

It’s this old-school district in Osaka that still has that quirky, vintage vibe from the early 1900s.

The area is packed with colorful signs, lively street food stalls, and the famous Tsutenkaku Tower right in the middle.

It’s the perfect place to try kushikatsu - deep-fried skewers of just about anything (just remember, no double dipping in the sauce!).

It’s a little gritty but full of character, and at night, the bright lights make it feel like a mini version of Tokyo’s old-school entertainment districts.

Definitely a fun spot to explore if you want to see a different side of Osaka!
