A real surprise, a covered maze of Japanese and Korean food and products right above several train and subway lines. Well worth the short trip from the major hotels.

Although there are some Korean shops in the Tsuruhashi Station arcade, I recommend that you should walk to Korea Town for 10-15 minutes, because there are more shops and things are cheaper there. It is fun to stroll and taste some Korean food, but it doesn't take much time to walk from end to end in the area.

Loved it, not terribly large but good for getting Korean things and if your staying a longer time cooking things you miss. It's is the largest Korea town in Japan.

Hey, I loved this little part of Osaka. There isn't much to it, at least the part I saw, but it is so colourful and fun and friendly. Buckets and buckets of weird Korean food lining the streets, loads of street vendors, delicious street food, friendly and cheap coffee shops, and very cute little korean dolls and key-chains. Fun!
