Namba, Osaka / Restaurant alley
Hozenji Yokocho
法善寺横丁
A stone-paved lane for a slower dinner near the lights of Dotonbori.
Near Hozenji Temple, these narrow lanes bring together independent restaurants and bars. Make dinner your main stop, then take a short walk through the neighbourhood. A restaurant reservation and a stroll through the alley are separate arrangements.
Find the entrance
Look for the Japanese 法善寺横丁 signs at the alley entrances. Navigate to your chosen restaurant if you have a reservation.
