01 · Tenma · choose one section
Tenjinbashisuji Shopping Street →
Start from a station that suits the stretch you want. A meal and a few shops can be more satisfying than walking the entire street.

Nakazakicho →
Check one priority café’s hours, then leave the surrounding browse open-ended. The lanes remain residential.
Address, map & visitor details ↗03 · Tanimachi · everyday food and lanes
Karahori Shopping Street →
Use the arcade as your anchor and explore only public routes nearby. The area’s appeal does not depend on every shop being open at once.
Address, map & visitor details ↗04 · Namba · useful objects for home
Sennichimae Doguyasuji Shopping Street →
Compare materials and sizes, and ask how to care for what you buy. Fragile tableware needs room and careful packing.
Address, map & visitor details ↗05 · Kitahama · tea and a historic building
Kitahama Retro →
Pair it with the Public Hall or Tekijuku. Keep a queue buffer and check access directly if stairs are difficult.
