Bustling Naniwa-ku is known for Namba Parks, a trendy, modern mall with lots of fashionable clothing boutiques, plus a rooftop garden and a cinema. Nearby, quirky Den Den Town is the city's hub for electronics, manga, and anime shops. The retro, neon-lit district of Shinsekai contains the Tsutenkaku tower, with an observation deck, plus kushikatsu restaurants serving deep-fried vegetable and meat skewers.
