Discover Japan’s longest shopping street and experience the changing living conditions of locals throughout history!
Osaka is a wonderful and vibrant city with so much to offer. Here you will find the longest shopping street in Japan known as Tenjinbashi-Suji. It stretches for around 2.6 kilometers, which is so long that it spans three subway stops. There are over 600 shops in this covered marketplace (shotengai) that sell everything like clothes, medicines, shoes, books, souvenirs, groceries, electronics, and more. It is no wonder that this place is popular with both locals and tourists.
Another famous destination is the Osaka Museum of Housing and Living. It’s a museum that celebrates the long and rich history of Osaka. One of the best attractions is the faithful recreation of the look and feel of the city during the Edo period (1603-1867). It showcases structures such as kimono stores and row houses for ordinary towns people that were reproduced based on thorough academic research. The interactive exhibits even allow visitors to touch the items on display. Come and travel back in time with us as we experience the changing times in Osaka throughout several centuries.
