Uncover a different side of Japan on a walking tour of Osaka's historic 'getto' area and its largest red-light district. Delve into the hidden and shadowed aspects of Japanese society as you explore Shinsekai, Nishinari, and Tobita Shinchi.

Meet your guide and set off to explore Shinsekai, meaning "New World," one of Osaka's most unique and culturally rich districts, blending retro nostalgia with vibrant local life. Established in 1912, the area was originally designed as a modern entertainment district inspired by Western influences, with its southern half modeled after Paris and its northern half after New York’s Coney Island.

Though its initial grandeur has faded over time, Shinsekai retains a quirky charm that continues to attract visitors. Continue to Nishinari, a district in southern Osaka, known for its multifaceted character, blending a rich history with a raw, authentic charm.

Once a hub for day laborers and the working-class community, Nishinari has undergone a transformation in recent years, attracting budget travelers and urban explorers intrigued by its gritty past and evolving present.

Next, visit Jyanjyan Yokocho, a charming, nostalgic shopping and dining street located in Osaka's Shinsekai district, right near Tsutenkaku Tower. Famous for its retro atmosphere, this narrow alley takes visitors on a journey back to mid-20th century Japan with its old-school eateries, bars, and shops.

Finally, visit Tobita Shinchi, Osaka’s most famous and largest red-light district, with a history dating back over a century. Known for its unique architectural style and tightly regulated environment, the area provides a glimpse into an aspect of Japan’s urban culture that remains shrouded in tradition and discretion.
