Tachibana Street, which has long been famous as a furniture district, has recently been transformed by young business owners into a trendy base in Minami! While traditional craftsman-like furniture stores maintain their long-established storefronts, casual furniture stores, miscellaneous goods stores, stylish boutiques, and open-air cafes are opening one after another. It is attracting attention as an exciting street with a mix of old and new. This area, located on the western edge of Minami, is also known as "Horie" and is a popular area dotted with stylish shops and restaurants. It's a town where adults can play and have fun.

Shinsaibashi-suji shopping street has a long history since the Edo period. In the early modern period, there were many shops selling books, koto-shamisen, and kimono, and it is said that soon after the Meiji Restoration, shops selling clothes appeared. It is said that stylish people enjoyed walking around Shinsaibashi-suji, calling it ``heart bra.'' Ebisubashi, the southern terminus of the shopping street, used to be bustling with pilgrims to Imamiya Ebisu and theater goers to Dotonbori, but now it is filled with young people. Pose with the familiar Glico sign! The neon signs reflected on the river surface are also a beautiful Osaka-esque sight.

Although Hozenji is located in the downtown area of ​​Minami, it exudes a quiet Naniwa atmosphere. As you pass through the gate labeled ``Hozenji Yokocho'' and walk steadily down the stone-paved alley, you will be greeted by the scent of incense and the sight of Mizukake Fudo. Ofudo-san's entire body is covered with green moss from the water poured by the pilgrims with their wishes. It shows the depth of faith and history. This alley, packed with small restaurants and bars, was depicted in the novel ``Meoto Zenya'' by Sakunosuke Oda, and was sung in the hit song ``Tsuki no Hozenji Yokocho,'' which begins with ``One knife, wrap it exposed.'' There is also a monument to that poem in the Yokocho.

When it comes to comedy in Osaka, Yoshimoto Kogyo's concerts are a must. Its home base, Namba Grand Kagetsu, is open all year round (Note). Let's enjoy "raw" laughter such as Yoshimoto's new comedy and manzai. Since the performances change weekly, it is recommended that you check the website for your favorite performers in advance. If you buy rare Yoshimoto goods sold at the shop in the building as souvenirs, you'll be sure to become popular in your class or company!

Walking around the streets of Minami with excitement, eating, and laughing. Finish off your day by relaxing and relaxing at Namba Parks, which spans approximately 10,000 square meters. Parks Garden, a huge commercial facility with lush greenery built on the site of the former Osaka Baseball Stadium, is a relaxing space filled with seasonal flowers. You can relax on a bench, or we recommend cafes and restaurants where you can eat while looking out at the greenery in the sunlight. Of course, there are also plenty of shops selling fashion and miscellaneous goods. First, let's cool down for a while, and then head out to Minami at night again!
