A shopping street with strong old-town charm, stretching east to west along the site of the outer moat (karahori) of Osaka Castle. Many nagaya row houses that escaped wartime destruction remain, and cafes and miscellaneous goods shops occupy renovated nagaya complexes such as "Ren" and "So". Its unique atmosphere comes from the mix of traditional delicatessens and Japanese confectionery shops with shops run by young owners with their own tastes.
