Tenjinbashisuji Shopping Street
天神橋筋商店街
Japan’s longest covered shopping street, running about 2.6 km north to south with roughly 600 shops. A great place to experience Osaka’s everyday prices and snacks.
Tenjinbashisuji Shopping Street runs about 2.6 kilometers north from Tenjinbashi 1-chome, next to Osaka Tenmangu, to 6-chome, with roughly 600 shops, and is said to be Japan’s longest shopping street. It is a neighborhood street where locals shop. Croquettes, takoyaki, standing sushi, izakaya and secondhand bookshops are cheaper than in Namba, with fewer tourists and plenty of local atmosphere. It is covered by a roof throughout, so it works well on rainy days. Start from Osaka Tenmangu at the south end and walk north, and at 6-chome drop into the Osaka Museum of Housing and Living. Most shops open from 10:00 to 20:00, while restaurants stay open later. It is accessible from Minamimorimachi, Ogimachi and Tenjinbashisuji 6-chome stations on the subway.
