Osaka has its own working-class identity distinct from Tokyo's - irreverent, food-obsessed, proud of its dialect. The Edion Arena (officially Osaka Prefectural Gymnasium) sits between Namba and Tennōji in the Naniwa ward, well-placed for visitors planning to eat their way through Dōtonbori afterward.
Near the arena
Dōtonbori↗ - Neon canal-side restaurant strip with the famous Glico running-man sign. ▾ Osaka Castle↗ - Reconstructed keep with an excellent history museum and a moat park. ▾ Den-Den Town↗ - Electronics, anime, and games district - Osaka's Akihabara. ▾ Local specialties
Takoyaki↗ たこ焼き - Battered octopus balls - the unofficial Osaka snack. ▾ Okonomiyaki↗ お好み焼き - Savoury cabbage-and-batter pancake, cooked on a teppan in front of you. ▾ Kushikatsu ↗ 串カツ - Skewered, breaded, deep-fried anything. Communal dipping sauce - no double-dipping. Kitsune udon↗ きつねうどん - Sweet fried tofu over noodles - an Osaka invention. ▾ Getting there: 5-minute walk from Namba Station (multiple lines converge there).
