That's great! Osaka Shopping District

Osaka's shopping streets support the lives and employment of the prefecture's residents, play an important role as regional infrastructure, and are attractive as places for local people to interact. With an eye on the 2025 Osaka-Kansai Expo, we have opened the portal site "Eeyan! Osaka Shopping Streets" as an initiative to promote the appeal of Osaka's shopping streets and stores and digitize them. "Wow, there's a shopping street like this! I'll go check it out next time!" Please use "Eeyan! Osaka Shopping Streets" to discover new aspects of shopping streets you didn't know about or your local shopping street, and to have wonderful encounters with shopping streets.

If you walk along Suita City Asahidori Shopping Street from JR Kyoto Line Suita Station, you will come across the Suita History & Culture Center, a former village headman's residence from the late Edo period that was donated to Suita City and renovated about 20 years ago.

Here you can see many characteristics of traditional Japanese architecture, such as the hearth called "hettsui" in the main house of the house, the earthen floor, the indoor well unique to the region, and pillars that still retain their original appearance.

In the storehouse, you can enjoy historical exhibits of Suita Village, which developed as a key water transportation route connecting Kyoto and Osaka, as well as picture-story theater-style videos with readings of local folk tales.

In a separate building, there is a display of "Danjiri" floats that were built during the Edo period and are designated as tangible folk cultural properties by Suita City. The beautiful carvings, with motifs such as peonies, Chinese lions, dragons, cranes and turtles, carved from a single piece of wood, are full of dynamism. These "Danjiri" floats are still in use today and are pulled around at the "Suita Danjiri Festival."

In the Hamayashiki area, there are many shrine and temples remaining, including the Suitano-watashiato , which tells of the area's past as a key water transportation point, and guided tours of these sites are available.

Individual guide requests are also available from 1000 yen for 10 people. We can also accommodate small groups, so please contact us.

Be sure to visit Hamayashiki, a place imprinted with ancient history and the lives of its people.
