2024.03.29

We conducted a monitor tour of Namba and Shinsekai.

The Namba area has flourished as an economic center since the time when Osaka was known as "the kitchen of the world."

This area is full of entertainment, including performing arts culture and gourmet food.

What is a monitor tour?

The model course published on the website is actually for wheelchair users. Go on a monitor tour

Wheelchair users, their families and caregivers Reflecting real voices

The goal is to refine the course so that it can be enjoyed with greater peace of mind.
We write articles based on the honest opinions of our readers.

The course we took on the monitor tour this time was the "Namba/Shinsekai Course!"

1. Dotonbori Ebisubashi Bridge
When it comes to sightseeing in Osaka, the first thing you should do is stop in front of Glico📷!

Dotonbori, Ebisubashi

There was good accessibility with toilets and ramps, and the roads were well maintained, making it easy to get around!
Many people were taking photos in front of Glico, and from the sight of people calling out to each other to take photos,
I felt a sense of barrier-freeness in my heart.
Also, people from various countries and regions came and we had a lot of fun interacting with them.
I thoroughly enjoyed eating around.
Eating pork buns
551's pork buns are a must!!
This area is a tourist spot, so there are takoyaki shops that have tasting sets and so on.
There are many other shops, including the famous 10 yen bread (500 yen) on social media.

2. Mimiu Namba store

Our recommendations are udon suki and thick soba sushi!
Amazingly, the udon suki comes with live shrimp!!
The fresh shrimp was delicious, and even one portion was quite filling, so I was very satisfied.
