Main route Osaka Nakanoshima Area
There are a number of retro-looking buildings in the Nakanoshima and Kitahama area. A lot of very interesting episodes unfolded here as Osaka modernized from the Meiji Period to the Taisho and Showa Eras.
During the Edo Period when Osaka was considered a “culinary paradise”, the area was known as Hachikenyahama because of the numerous inns for mariners in Tenmabashi.
It thrived not only as the starting point for the Kumano pilgrimages but also as a key location for marine transport along the Yodo River between Kyoto and Osaka.

Tekijuku
Tekijuku was a private school opened in Senba, Osaka in the late Edo Period by Koan Ogata, who was known as a western scholar and physician, to teach about the West. The name of the school came from Ogata's artistic name, Tekitekisai. Officially, the school was registered as the Tekitekisai-juku but often was called Tekiteki-juku.
