Tenjinbashi-suji Shopping Street
Osaka's representative shopping arcade. It is said to be "the longest shopping arcade in Japan" with a total length of about 2.6 km from Tenjinbashi 1-chome to 7-chome. It takes about 40 minutes to walk from one end of the arcade to the other. The arcade began to flourish when it became the main approach to Osaka Tenmangu Shrine, which is located in 2-chome and is dedicated to Sugawara Michizane, the god of learning.
There are so many different kinds of shops here—fashion boutiques, variety stores, bookstores, drugstores, and even department stores. Plus, there are tons of places to eat, both traditional and modern. It's a great spot to shop, eat, and have fun.
