Introduction

Shinsekai Luna Street is a shopping street in the Shinsekai district of Naniwa, Osaka, known for its Showa-retro signage and views of Tsutenkaku tower. Shinsekai took shape in 1912 with the first Tsutenkaku and the Luna Park amusement ground; kushikatsu shops, game arcades and retro cafes line the street, which together with Tsutenkaku Hon-dori and Janjan Yokocho makes up Osaka's classic working-class quarter.
