In this visually captivating 4K video, DassaiShooku takes us on a journey through the vibrant and historical Tennoji and Abeno areas of Osaka. Filmed on March 8, 2025, this immersive street view captures a unique blend of modern architecture and cultural depth nestled within one of the city's most dynamic hubs. The video opens with a reference to Yumeji Takehisa, a classic Taisho-era poet and artist, setting a nostalgic tone that intertwines with the area’s present-day energy.
The journey begins at the Abeno Pedestrian Bridge before continuing to JR Tennoji Station and the lively Hanwa Shopping Street. These locales showcase the eclectic charm of Osaka — where old merchant streets pulse with local life, and city infrastructure serves as a canvas for both tradition and innovation. The video then guides you through the Abeno Underground Mall (あべちか), Tennoji Park, and modern retail landmarks like Abeno Q’s Town, Hoop, and the Kintetsu Department Store.
Tennoji Park, a relaxing green space surrounded by urban bustle, stands in contrast to the bustling shopping streets and underground walkways. The area brims with character, especially highlighted in spots like the Tomoe Street Shopping District and Osaka-Abenobashi Station. Unique art features prominently, with a standout installation by Yayoi Kusama titled "ABENO AKEBONO LOVE FOREVER" adding vibrancy and a futuristic vision to the Abeno landscape.
The tour culminates at Abeno Harukas, the tallest building in Japan, which hosts the Abeno Harukas Art Museum. Here viewers are introduced to the YUMEJI exhibition, commemorating the 140th anniversary of the birth of Yumeji Takehisa. This curated exploration of Taisho-era romance and modern artistic visions ties the entire journey together, reflecting Osaka’s fusion of cultural reverence and urban progression.
This video is a must-watch for prospective travelers, art lovers, and those interested in experiencing a ground-level view of modern-day Osaka. The Tennoji and Abeno districts offer a multifaceted experience, perfect for those looking to explore beyond the typical tourist paths in Japan.
