Shinsekai, meaning "New World," is a vibrant and historically rich district located in Osaka, Japan. Developed in the early 20th century, the area was inspired by Western cities, with its northern half modeled after Paris and the southern half after Coney Island in New York. At its heart stands the iconic Tsutenkaku Tower, a symbol of Osaka. Shinsekai is known for its nostalgic atmosphere, bustling streets, and eclectic mix of eateries, particularly famed for kushikatsu (deep-fried skewers).
