Osaka, Sen-nichi-mae (Japan)
On this mid-20th-century unused card, the area is termed as “Amusement Centers”. We don’t know Osaka well, but it seems to have been repositioned now — according to an official Osaka website (we’ve condensed a bit) — as “Sennichimae Doguyasuji Shopping Street is lined with specialty stores of all kinds of cooking utensils and kitchen items. Stores stocking tools accommodating (chefs) congregate in Doguyasuji. It started as an approach from Sennichimae of Hozenji temple to Odaishi worship at Shitennoji temple and Imaebisu Shrine lined with antique and sundries stores. In the early 20th century, they developed as wholesale stores and specialty stores of manufacturing. The arcade was built in 1970 to become the current 150m-long shopping street.” Same area? Wholesale stores are not amusement centers, usually. Grade: 1
