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
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).
