Shinsekai District
新世界Osaka · Kansai
Shinsekai is an Osaka district laid out in 1912 and little changed since, its streets lined with kushikatsu counters serving deep-fried skewers beneath the 103-metre Tsutenkaku tower. The district itself is free to walk at any hour; the tower's observation deck is ticketed separately at ¥1,200.
