Nishinari-ku, Osaka

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nishinari (西成区, -ku) is one of 24 wards of Osaka, Japan. It contains some shopping and entertainment areas beloved to many Osakans; eg Shinsekai and Tamade. It lies directly south of the Namba transport hub and extends further south towards Sumiyoshi Park. It is served by the Nankai Railway lines as well as the Yotsubashi and Sakai-Suji subway lines. Nishinari-ku is also home to a number of 'shitamachi' (down-town) shopping streets, increasingly a rarity in fast-developing urban Japan. Kamagasaki in Nishinari-ku is home to a large number of daylaborers and most of the homeless people in Osaka.
