By MOOK Scenic Spots Editorial Department

When visiting Japan, experiencing local traditional culture and unique offerings is a must. The Tenjinbashi-suji Shopping Street in Osaka spans from 1-chome to 7-chome, with a total length of 2.6 kilometers, making it Japan’s longest shopping street. The slender street is packed with a wide variety of shops—over 600 in total—including eateries for grab-and-go snacks, ultra-affordable clothing stores, Osaka specialty shops, and izakayas. Nearby, you can also visit the “Osaka Museum of Housing and Living” to try on a kimono. From food to fashion, this affordable and entertaining traditional Japanese shopping street has it all.
