Also known as awaji-/-kamishinjo
Awaji/Kamishinjo combines the neighbourhoods around Awaji and Kamishinjo, two Hankyu Railway stations in Osaka City.
The two stations for this area are Hankyu's Awaji and Kamishinjo. The municipal guide to land readjustment explains that the tracks at Awaji Station cut across east-west traffic, and the area around the station is being reorganised.
The same city page says old wooden buildings were packed closely around Awaji Station, which is why land readjustment is under way across the roughly 8.9-hectare Awaji Station district.
Here too, venues will appear on this page once they are registered for Awaji/Kamishinjo. At present the listings sit on the Osaka City page and can be viewed under Juso, Umeda, Fukushima, Namba/Shinsaibashi and Hommachi.
Osaka City regulates touting through an ordinance aimed at streets everyone can pass along with peace of mind. Wherever a road has been designated a prohibited zone, any line of business is barred from touting in principle, and someone who goes as far as ignoring a city order is subject to a non-criminal fine (karyo) of up to 50,000 yen.
Awaji / Kamishinjo is generally fine for a night out. The main risk is bottakuri, a padded bill at the end. Stick to venues that post their prices, skip street touts steering you into ‘free’ bars, and confirm the set fee plus any nomination or bottle charges before you order.
Payment methods vary by venue. Check the listing and confirm with the venue before booking.
