What makes this place special?
At a Glance
Tenjinbashisuji Shopping Street is a covered arcade in Kita Ward, Osaka, stretching about 2.6 kilometres. Since the 1990s it has been promoted as the longest shopping street in Japan, with roughly 600 shops. It is divided into sections from 1-chome in the south to 7-chome in the north, and locals shorten the names, calling the first section Ten-ichi and the third Ten-san.
The street grew up as the approach to Osaka Tenmangū shrine, and its roots go back to a vegetable market held around 1653. Shops, restaurants and entertainment venues now line the arcade. Osaka Tenmangū and the Tenma Tenjin Hanjōtei theatre stand near the 2-chome section. At the 6-chome end, a building connected to the station houses the Osaka Museum of Housing and Living, where daily life from the Edo period to the Showa era can be experienced.
