Nakazakicho and Tenma: Two Sides of Local Osaka

Osaka is often associated with Dotonbori, huge illuminated signs, street food and some of Japan’s busiest shopping districts. Yet neighborhoods such as Nakazakicho and Tenma reveal a more intimate and everyday side of the city.

Nakazakicho retains narrow alleyways, traditional wooden houses and small gardens surrounded by modern buildings. In Tenma, the atmosphere becomes livelier with markets, small restaurants, food shops, lanterns and colorful signs.

Tenma offers shopping streets, markets, and a more active setting. Local Tenma
