About the new world
Shinsekai refers to the entire downtown area located from Ebisu Higashi 1-chome to 3-chome, Naniwa-ku, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture. Tsutenkaku, located in Shinsekai, has long been known as a tourist area that represents Osaka, and I think Tsutenkaku is often included in the general image of Osaka.
Basic information about the new world
Origin of the New World
The beginning of Shinsekai dates back to 1903, when the 5th National Industrial Exhibition was held in Tennoji and present-day Shinsekai.
Tennoji Park and an amusement park were built on the site of the exposition, creating a retro downtown area with a nostalgic atmosphere.

In the 19th century there was an amusement park. And until recently there was a roller coaster (at the site)
In the past, Shinsekai was an amusement park centered around Tsutenkaku. It is said that
the origin of the name “Shinsekai” was the desire to create a new tourist spot that was like a combination of Paris and New York .
After suffering a fire once, Tsutenkaku was rebuilt in 1956 and remains as it is today.
Other places in Shinsekai include Tsutenkaku, Janjan Yokocho, and a large pufferfish lantern sign. It is a city where you can encounter Osaka specialties wherever you go.
