- What to expect
-
Shinsekai, meaning "New World," is one of Osaka's most unique and culturally rich districts, blending retro nostalgia with vibrant local life. Established in 1912, the area was originally designed as a modern entertainment district inspired by Western influences, with its southern half modeled after Paris and its northern half after New York’s Coney Island. Though its initial grandeur has faded over time, Shinsekai retains a quirky charm that continues to attract visitors.
