[2025 Osaka Attraction] Travel Guide for Shinsekai Market (Updated Feb)

Jumbo-tsuribune Tsurikichi is one of the most unique restaurants we have tried in Osaka. It is located in Shinsekai where there is a famous observation tower called Tsutenkaku. The concept of this restaurant is interesting where you get to catch your own meal with fishing rods and nets provided. You get to choose whether you’d like to have the fish grilled or in a hot pot. Food was pretty good with a huge variety from the menu. We got some fresh squid to grill and once grilled with butter it was delicious. We also ordered homemade tofu, udon, tempura and those were yummy too. Price wise, it wasn’t the cheapest but I guess you are paying for the experience. I would recommend coming here if you’re looking for somewhere fun to dine with family or a group of friends. #tripblazers

#japantrip #osaka #shinsekai #travel #japan #summer #thingstodo #nightlife Shinsekai is a magical place to visit after the sun sets, where neon lights, bustling streets, and the scent of street food fill the air. As I wandered through the district, I was drawn to the vibrant energy surrounding Tsutenkaku Tower, the area’s most iconic landmark. The glow of the tower and the retro atmosphere of the district transport you to another time, with its charming mix of old-school Osaka and modern entertainment. Whether you’re indulging in kushikatsu (deep-fried skewers) or enjoying a drink at one of the quirky local bars, Shinsekai at night offers a unique and unforgettable experience. It’s the perfect place to dive into Osaka’s lively night scene and get a taste of its rich culture.
