Na, wie wäre es mit einem kleinen Sonntagsauflug? Ach, du hast keine Lust, das Haus zu verlassen? Gar kein Problem! Das geht auch ganz einfach von Zuhause – sogar bis nach Japan! uly huerta nimmt uns mit auf einen atmosphärischen Gang durch Osaka.
Hier noch ein paar Informationen zu den zu sehenden Vierteln:
„Namba (難波) is a popular shopping and entertainment district located in Minami, one of the two major city centers in Osaka. Near this area you can find Dotonbori, which is notable for hosting one of Osaka’s most popular landmarks: the Glico Man. In the video, you can also see parts of Ura Namba (裏なんば), or „Hidden Namba.“ This area of Namba is known for its small eateries and izakayas. The colorful neon signs in this area look like they’ve been unchanged since Japan’s bubble era.“
„Shinsekai (新世界), or ‚The New World,‘ is one of my favorite parts of Osaka. The area was developed in the early 1900’s as a tourist destination modeled after Paris and New York. Its popularity soon started to decline, and it remained neglected for several decades. Recently, the area has seen a resurgence and it has become a popular tourist destination. There are several Kushikatsu (串カツ) restaurants in the area as the dish originated here. Tsutenkaku Tower, another one of Osaka’s iconic landmarks, can also be found in Shinsekai. It’s a great place to visit if you want to experience the more retro side of Osaka.“
„Nipponbashi (日本橋), also known as ‚Den-den Town‘ (Electric Town) is another popular shopping district in Osaka. Similar to Tokyo’s Akihabara district, Nipponbashi is known for shops that specialize in electronics, model kits, collectables, manga, and anime. It’s the center of Osaka’s otaku culture, and a great place to shop if you’re looking for cheap electronics. „
„Joto-ku (城東区) is a residential ward in the north-eastern part of Osaka. It has the highest population density in Osaka, and the sixth largest in Japan. The neighborhood I was walking though is a quiet, local area near Shigino (鴫野) station. It was raining in Japan this day, which is my favorite time to walk through these local neighborhoods.“
