A shopping street with a total length of approximately 2.6 km, starting from Tenjinbashi and extending north to Tenjinbashisuji 7-chome. It is said to be the longest in Japan and takes about 40 minutes to walk. A welcoming doll is displayed above the entrance, and once you step into the arcade, you'll find an old-fashioned restaurant, a side dish shop, a cutlery shop where swordsmiths have been working for generations, a tea shop founded in the first year of the Meiji era, tofu, croquettes, pottery, and kimonos... ...and approximately 800 stores. During the Edo period, it flourished as a temple town in front of Osaka Tenmangu Shrine, which is located on 2-chome and is dedicated to Sugawara no Michizane, the god of learning.In the Meiji period, it developed into the shopping district it is today. The Osaka Living Museum - Museum of Modern and Past Life in Osaka, located on 6-chome, recreates the life of this town from the Edo period to the Meiji, Taisho, and Showa periods. During the Tenjin Festival held on July 24th and 25th every year, local mikoshi (portable shrines) and other shrines are paraded through the area, and the area is full of energy with stalls and other spectacles.
