Morinomiya/Tamatsukuri groups the areas around two stations served by the Osaka Metro Nagahori Tsurumi-ryokuchi and Chuo subway services, alongside JR trains.
At Morinomiya Station (C19) on the Chuo Line connections include JR and the N20 station of the Nagahori Tsurumi-ryokuchi Line. On the Tamatsukuri side, Tamatsukuri Station (N19) on the Nagahori Tsurumi-ryokuchi Line is also a transfer point for JR.
According to Higashinari Ward, Tamatsukuri once thrived as the starting point of the Nara Kaido highway, with the Nikenjaya teahouses and a stone bridge, Kuromon-bashi, along the road.

The stated purpose of Osaka's touting ordinance is a street environment that everyone can use and walk through with peace of mind. The city concentrates its response in priority districts. Within those districts, roads with high pedestrian numbers and complaints are selected for a prohibition on touting, applying in principle to all trades.
Morinomiya/Tamatsukuri 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.
