Starting from Tenjinbashi, this shopping street stretches north to Tenjinbashisuji 7-chome, stretching for about 2.6 km. It is said to be the longest in Japan, and it takes about 40 minutes to walk along it. A welcoming doll is displayed above the entrance, and once you step into the arcade, you will find about 800 stores lined up, including old-fashioned diner, delicatessens, a knife shop run by swordsmiths for generations, a tea shop founded in 1868, tofu, croquettes, pottery, kimonos, and more. During the Edo period, it began as a temple town for Osaka Tenmangu Shrine, which enshrines Sugawara no Michizane, the god of learning, located in 2-chome, and in the Meiji period it developed into the shopping street we know today. At the Museum of Living, Osaka Living Then and Now in 6-chome, the town's appearance from the Edo period to the Meiji, Taisho, and Showa periods is reproduced. During the Tenjin Festival held every year on July 24th and 25th, local portable shrines are paraded through the area, and the area becomes lively with outdoor stalls and shows.
