Description
Step into a living time capsule and discover the nostalgic heart of Osaka. This tour takes you through the vibrant Tenjinbashi-suji Shopping Street, officially the longest shopping arcade in Japan. Stretching over 2.6 kilometers, it is packed with hundreds of diverse local shops. Then we’ll wander into Nakazakicho, a charming neighborhood that miraculously escaped the air raids of WWII.
