Ikuno Korea Town

生野コリアタウン

Osaka · Kansai

Ikuno Korea Town is the centre of Osaka's Korean community, a shopping street of grocers, kimchi makers, cosmetics shops and restaurants a short walk east of Tsuruhashi Station. The street is free and open at all hours, though the individual shops keep their own, mostly daytime, hours.

Why we picked it

Many mainstream travelers overlook this area in favor of more famous districts like Dotonbori.
