Yasaka Namba Shrine is a historic Shinto shrine in central Osaka, believed to date back to the 5th century. Dedicated to Susanoo-no-Mikoto, it is known for its dramatic lion-head stage, symbolising protection, good fortune, and the warding off of misfortune amid the surrounding urban landscape.

  • 40m
Den Den Town (Nipponbashi) is Osaka’s hub for electronics, anime, and pop culture. Originally developed as an electronics district in the early 20th century, it later evolved into a centre for gaming, manga, and otaku culture, often compared to Tokyo’s Akihabara.

The walk continues south towards Shinsekai, a nostalgic area inspired by early 20th-century Osaka. Here, guests enjoy kushikatsu (1 drink included), the city’s famous deep-fried speciality.

Dōtonbori Bridge and the Glico Running Man mark the symbolic heart of Osaka’s nightlife district. Spanning the historic Dōtonbori Canal, the bridge offers views of neon-lit streets and river traffic, while the iconic Glico Running Man sign, first installed in 1935, represents Osaka’s energy, optimism, and love of spectacle.
