Tenjinbashisuji Shopping Street




Starting from Tenjinbashi, this shopping street stretches north to Tenjinbashisuji 7-chome, stretching for approximately 2.6 kilometers. It's said to be the longest in Japan, and it takes about 40 minutes to walk the entire length. A welcoming doll is displayed above the entrance, and once you step into the arcade, you'll find approximately 800 stores, including traditional diner, delicatessens, a cutlery shop run by swordsmiths for generations, a tea shop established in 1868, and shops selling tofu, croquettes, pottery, and kimonos. During the Edo period, the area flourished as a temple town for Osaka Tenmangu Shrine, located in 2-chome, dedicated to Sugawara no Michizane, the god of learning. During the Meiji period, it developed into the shopping street we know today. The Osaka Museum of Living and Living, located in 6-chome, recreates the town's appearance from the Edo, Meiji, Taisho, and Showa periods. During the Tenjin Festival held every year on July 24th and 25th, local portable shrines are paraded through the area, and the area is filled with lively stalls and shows.
