Tenma, which Osaka people call the 'true drinkers' district.' Flanking Tenjinbashisuji, Japan's longest arcade, hundreds of cheap, hearty izakaya fill the alleys. Light on tourist gloss with a high local ratio, and the value is insane — a must-go course if you love drinking.

    Tenjinbashisuji Shopping Street天神橋筋商店街

    Mall · Stroll · 35 min stay

    Japan's longest arcade shopping street at about 2.6km. Long-established eateries and working-class shops run endlessly. The main route for walking, gauging the vibe, and deciding which alley to slip into.

    Tenma Sakaba Alley (1st Stop)天満 酒場横丁

    Izakaya · 60 min stay

    One of the izakaya packed under the Tenma Station gird and in the alleys. Sashimi, skewers, and oden at half the Tokyo price. The value king, always crowded with local workers.

    Tenma Standing Bar (2nd Stop)天満 立ち飲み

    Tenma · Bar · 45 min stay

    Standing drinks at a few hundred yen a glass. The heart of Tenma's second-round culture, moving lightly from one drink to the next. An atmosphere where it's easy to strike up a chat with the stranger next to you.
