Discover a Different Side of Osaka

Tondabayashi Jinaimachi is a nationally designated historic preservation district in Japan.

The town has a long history, and many traditional buildings and townhouses remain today. Walking through its streets feels very different from exploring the modern city center.

There are no large tourist attractions or busy entertainment complexes here.
