Shinsekai, the 'New World', was laid out in 1912: the southern half imitated Paris around Tsutenkaku tower, the northern half hosted a Luna Park amusement ground. Today it is Osaka's most atmospheric retro quarter, with the Janjan Yokocho alley, kushikatsu restaurants such as the legendary Daruma, and the Billiken lucky figure inside the tower. At dusk neon comes on, izakaya open, and Tsutenkaku lights up above the rooftops.
