Itineraries

Nakanoshima - Yodoyabashi - Kitahama - Semba. These are places of crowded modern buildings and masses of business, but also of retro architecture hailing from the old times of Osaka.

Nakanoshima, a 3.5 km island between the Dojima and Tosabori rivers, is like a piece of history. Dotted with stunning retro architecture and world-class museums, Nakanoshima is a must-see for tourists to Osaka.

Now and in the olden days, the Yodoyabashi-Kitahama-Semba environs have been the center of the commercial town Osaka. When you stop in the busy street with businessmen coming and going, beautiful buildings mark time quietly.
