The place I've been is called "Shin-sekai" located south part of Osaka central.
Shin-sekai,literally means new world. There are a lot of good restaurants and standing bars.Don't worry, everything is cheap not like restaurants in Kyoto. You can eat and drink without worries of your budget. Example, you start with Japanese cut-let house and then stop at the standing bar. You can also try Japanese chess with old masters. If you need more excitement you should check the people over there. People in shin-sekai are so cool. Some people are not easy to say hello, but once you get the chance to communicate, you can feel something nice from the residents. Walking around Shinsekai, you will notice there are no foreigners passing by. You might feel you got no place for a while. But I believe people who is reading this trip tips starves new experience in Japan. Don't hesitate to get in the NEW WORLD.

As watching beautiful riverside, we took a walk from Kyoto station to NANAJO station KEIHAN line for about 10 minute. At the station, taking an express train bound for YODOYABASHI. Getting off at KITAHAMA and transferred to Subway bound for DOUBUTUENMAE. Getting off at EBISUCHOU. All the above takes 50-60 minute.

Let's get going second one, here is popular Izakaya eat and drink place which has Sashimi, Sushi, BBQ, and everything. You can also have turtle in an aquarium. This is good for a stew.
The most exciting thing in this trip was meeting the ladies at the kushikatsu place. We drunk beer and ate nice kushikatsu as hearing the topic of what she was in youth like she used to having fun around and the story of her old days. When we finished the meal. We found those ladies ate and drunk twice as much as we did.
This is a brief guide of Shinsekai. There are so many things to tell you more. I hope this guide will help you somehow.
