You'll understand why Osaka is called the 'Nation's Kitchen' when you visit this street, filled with shops specializing in items used in cooking and serving cuisine! You can find traditional culinary items unique to Japan, as well as cute souvenirs like chopsticks, pretty cups and food samples!
Known as Osaka's Kitchen, this market has 150 shops and over 190 years of history. Grab a freshly made snack, or find some of your favorite Japanese foods and ingredients to take home with you.
Bunraku (puppet drama) is a traditional Japanese performing art that originated in Osaka in the 17th century and is designated as Intangible Cultural Heritage by UNESCO. The theater has an exhibition room where you can see a demonstration and the construction of the puppets.
