It is a covered arcade in Osaka that is flanked by shops, theaters and game centers. It is frequented by locals and by tourists who want to enjoy the local flavor of the city. The Tenjimbashi-Suji Shopping Street was first the Tenman Vegetable Market during the Edo Era. It is located near the Tenmangu Shrine. It was one of the most important markets for the people of Osaka at the time. Today the street runs from the Tenjinbashi 1 Chome and the 9 Chome for a length of 2.6 kilometers. The Tenjimbashi-Suji Shopping Street is a covered arcade with over 600 shops. The high vaulted roof and the broad street give it a spacious look unlike many other covered shopping areas. Visitors can buy clothes, snacks, second hand books and a range of other products. It does not have large departmental stores selling high end brands or souvenir shops. Most of the shops are small and cater to the local population. The shops have the same appearance as they had when it was a vegetable market. The Tenjimbashi-Suji Shopping Street becomes very crowded with locals and tourists during the summer festival called Tenjin Matsuri hosted by the Tenmangu Shrine.

It has now become a shopping area frequented by art lovers and antique hunters. The Oimatsu-Dori Street was named after the Oimatsu-Jinja shrine that forms part of the Tenmangu Shrine complex. The meaning of Oimatsu is Old Pine Tree. The shrine is said to have been founded by the Empress Jingu. She built the shrine under a large pine tree near the present Oimatsu street to show her gratitude to the tree that sheltered her ship from strong winds and waves on her return from a visit to the Chikushi region. Initially the Oimatsu-Dori Street had the residences of academics and intellectuals of the city. It was known as a cultured area of Osaka. There were inns, theaters and restaurants frequented by these intellectuals at the time. The elegant buildings located here reflect the cultured aura that once permeated the street. After World War II, it became the home of antique dealers and today, there are over 90 antique shops and art galleries here. Lawyer s offices and court buildings at the south of Oimatsu- Dori Street help to preserve its academic atmosphere even today. The street attracts crowds during the Old Pine Tree antique festivals held in spring and autumn annually.
