Uehonmachi is an area of Tennoji Ward, Osaka, centred on Kintetsu's Osaka-Uehommachi Station. The ward describes it as a district transformed into a modern town by urban redevelopment.
The tourism bureau notes that Kintetsu Department Store Uehommachi is directly linked to Osaka-Uehommachi Station on the Kintetsu Osaka and Nara lines. If you are travelling by Osaka Metro, change at Tanimachi 9-chome Station (T25) on the Tanimachi Line for the Sennichimae Line (S18) and Kintetsu.
Tennoji Ward explains that redevelopment has turned Uehonmachi into a modern town. Should venues be entered for Uehonmachi, they will be displayed together in this spot. Present listings are on the Osaka City page and are split among Namba/Shinsaibashi, Juso, Fukushima, Umeda and Hommachi within the city.
Osaka City's ordinance works by pursuing anti-touting measures in priority districts and making the roads within them that are crowded and draw frequent complaints into prohibited zones. No business may tout there, in principle, and carrying on after receiving an order exposes a person to a non-criminal fine of up to 50,000 yen.
Uehonmachi 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.
