Tenma is a neighbourhood of Kita Ward, Osaka, built around Osaka Tenmangu shrine and the Tenjimbashisuji shopping street, served by JR Tenma Station on the Osaka Loop Line and by several Sakaisuji Line stations.
For the Tenjimbashisuji shopping street, the tourism bureau lists Ogimachi, Tenjimbashisuji 6-chome and Minami-morimachi on the Sakaisuji Line, plus JR Tenma on the Osaka Loop Line. JR Tenma is served by Loop Line and JR Yumesaki Line trains, and Tenjimbashisuji 6-chome (T18) on the Tanimachi Line connects to the Sakaisuji Line (K11) and Hankyu.
The tourism bureau introduces Tenjimbashisuji as the longest shopping street in Japan, running about 2.6 km through Tenjimbashi 1-chome to 7-chome. Osaka Tenmangu stands in the same Tenma area, not far from Osaka Station, at Tenjimbashi 2-1-8.
Tenma's page has no venues on it for now and will start showing them once any are added. Present listings can be seen on the Osaka City page, with nearby Umeda and Fukushima, as well as Juso, Hommachi and Namba/Shinsaibashi, carrying them.
Osaka's municipal system distinguishes priority districts from roads designated as prohibited zones. The latter in principle exclude touting for any business; ignoring a recommendation or order can incur up to 50,000 yen in a non-criminal penalty. Prefectural rules restrict late-night operation of hosted dining businesses from 1 a.m.; specified parts of Kita and Chuo wards are listed for operation beyond midnight.
Tenma 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.
