Osaka Shinsekai – Japan



Osaka’s tower district, centred around Tsutenkaku Tower in the retro neighbourhood of Shinsekai, feels like stepping into a neon-tinted time capsule where old-school arcades, lantern-lit streets, and street food blur together. The tower looms above especially electric after sunset when the lights flicker on and the whole area is filled with people seeking the food, the lights and the atmosphere.
