Miyuki-dori is a 500-meter-long shopping street that runs between Sokaido Street and the Hirano River in Osaka’s Ikuno Ward. Since the beginning of the Showa Era (1926-89), when Korean settlers in Osaka set up a makeshift market, the open-air shopping street has had ties to the local Korean community. In 1993, the three shopkeeper associations that have managed Miyuki-dori since 1951 paved the roads and added four traditional Korean gates, welcoming people to “Osaka Ikuno Koreatown.” With help from cafes that allow outside food, the town has adopted a slower pace thus allowing tourist to get the ultimate experience.
