Additional Information

Let’s visit Dotonbori, Kuromon Market, Denden Town, Shinsekai, and Tennoji Park accompanied by a language instructor from Japan. As we stroll, you’ll have the chance to pick up Japanese phrases such as suki desu, hoshi desu, and more.

Shinsekai translates to “new world.” It’s a fascinating district famed for its distinctive signage and Billiken effigies. In 1903, the area that is now Tennoji Park and Shinsekai hosted an exhibition. Then in 1912, the region saw the inauguration of the most modern landmark, Tsutenkaku Tower, and the cutting-edge amusement complex, Luna Park. Back then, Shinsekai was synonymous with a revolutionary epoch for both Osaka and Japan.
