@home.in.the.world: Ukiyo Koji is a narrow little laneway in the heart of Dotonbori, Osaka's main entertainment precinct. Despite this central location, its unobtrusive entrance is very easy to miss, but if you use Google Maps, you shouldn't have a problem. As you walk along the main Dotonbori Street (one block in from the canal, but almost in line with the Don Quixote ferris wheel located on the other side of the canal), look for a big sign with a smiley face and KARAOKE ROOM in red letters. Ukiyo Koji is just to the right of that as you face it. You will also see a line of red lanterns leading in. Once inside, this retro little laneway, measuring about a metre wide, is a veritable journey to another time and place. Its wooden walls are lined with artworks depicting scenes and everyday life from Osaka's past. You will find displays of drinking establishments, theatres and bustling streets - a likely nod to Dotonbori's early days - as well as what appear to be newspaper clippings or black-and-white photos of the area from a bygone era. It really does feel like a mini refuge from the craziness of modern-day Dotonbori! Highly recommended if you enjoy quirky photography or laneway art. 🚇 Closest metro stop: Namba (exit 14), also Nipponbashi (exit 2) and Shinsaibashi (exit 4B) ✨️ Save this idea for your next trip to Osaka!
