    Shinsekai

    It is famous for the Tsutenkaku tower, ever-present Billiken shrines, Kushi-katsu fried skewers and much more. Despite its turbulent history it is immensely popular with foreign tourists, so enjoy a bit of “the normal” before we head out into Nishinari.

    Warm your body and soul with the locally beloved Kasujiru Lastly, we will stop by at a local Izakaya to get a taste of homemade sake-lees soup “Kasujiru”. The soup is made from the lees, left over from the rice wine making process and enjoys extremely high popularity in Kansai region. It warms up both body and soul and is the prefect meal at the end of our day!
