I've been to Osaka so many times, but I didn't know there was a Korea Town!

Tsuruhashi in Osaka is like Shin-Okubo in Tokyo, a gathering place for Korean culture. There are hundreds of Korean shops, cafes, and Korean BBQ restaurants. Even the Japanese BBQ restaurants originated from Tsuruhashi in Osaka. There are many Korean snack shops on Miyuki-dori Shopping Street, and there are always people standing in front of them. I was curious about how delicious the Korean kimchi that the Japanese were queuing for was. The cafes and dessert shops in this area are also very Korean style, especially the most popular "in the cartoon" among Japanese girls, which is like a Korean drama. There is also a 1,600-year-old Miyukimori Shrine on Miyuki-dori Shopping Street. It is small and exquisite, and the ginkgo trees in autumn are particularly spectacular. The FIVE HOTEL OSAKA near Korea Town, where my friend and I stayed, costs only CNY 500 per night per person on weekdays. The room is large, and the hotel facilities are new. This price is already very good in Osaka near the red leaf season. It takes about 10 minutes to walk from the station. In addition, it is very close to Shinsaibashi by subway or taxi, basically a little more than JPY 2,000. Compared with the hotels in Umeda and Shinsaibashi, which are now ridiculously expensive, it is still very cost-effective. My best friend and I joked that Chinese tourists like to go to Shinsaibashi, while Japanese tourists like to come to Tsuruhashi.
