Introduction

In 1912, the New World was completed. It consists of the southern part modeled after New York and the northern part modeled after Paris. The Moon God Park was open from 1912 until its closure in 1923. However, this place has a long history and unique characteristics. There are many affordable eateries, cheap clothing stores, cinemas, Japanese chess, mahjong clubs, and pinball leagues nearby. Many places are marked with "Tsutenkaku," which is the iconic tower located in Osaka. With the rise of tourism, the dining industry in the New World has also become increasingly popular. Kushikatsu is one of the most representative specialties of this area. Kushikatsu specialty shops are found everywhere, such as "Kushikatsu Yokocho" (the number one kushikatsu in Japan) with a large Fukusuke statue at the entrance, "Kushikatsu Dining House" with over a hundred varieties, "Shodai Ebi Shell" (where you can enjoy both kushikatsu and grilled teppanyaki), and the delicious doteyaki kushikatsu "Ichiban," among others. Additionally, "Tako Tenkaku" is a restaurant that has been frequented by celebrities, and the Takoyaki (Japanese octopus balls) is definitely worth trying. Don't miss "Tsuboya," which has a large shark lantern at the entrance and offers delicious fugu cuisine.
