This area contains the covered shopping arcade Jan Jan Yokocho, named after the jan jan sound of the stringed instruments waitresses traditionally played to attract customers to their restaurants. Originally frequented by blue-collar workers during the 1950s, it remains a destination for down-to-earth nostalgic dining. Also nearby is Tsutenkaku Tower. Considered by residents to be the symbol of modern Osaka, the towers observation platform offers city views from 91 meters above the street.
