Introduction
Translated from Chinese simplified
In 1912, Shinsekai was completed. It is divided into the southern part, which is modeled after New York, and the northern part, which is modeled after Paris. Tsukimi Park was opened in 1912 and closed in 1923. However, this place has a long history and unique characteristics.
There are many inexpensive restaurants, cheap clothing stores, cinemas, Japanese chess, mahjong clubs, and pinball arcades in the vicinity. Many places have signs for "Tsutenkaku," a symbol tower of Osaka that is located here.
With the rise of tourism, the dining industry in Shinsekai has become increasingly popular. One of the most representative features is kushikatsu, a specialty of deep-fried skewers. Kushikatsu specialty shops can be found everywhere, such as "Kushikatsu Yokozuna" (the first kushikatsu in Japan) with a large Fuku God statue at the entrance, "Kushikatsu Drink Hall" with over 100 varieties, "Hatsudai Ebi Kourdoku" (where you can enjoy both kushikatsu and teppanyaki), and the delicious Handmade Kushikatsu "Ichiban" in Teshikaga. In addition, "Takoyaki Tengoku" is a restaurant that was once frequented by celebrities, and Takoyaki (octopus balls) is highly recommended. "Tsuboya," with a large shark lantern hanging in front, offers delicious fugu (blowfish) cuisine that should not be missed. Address 1-18-6 Ebisuhigashi, Naniwa-ku, Osaka-shi, Osaka-fu
