Osaka Museum of Housing and Living

The museum occupies multiple floors with a life-sized recreation of a nineteenth-century Osaka town, complete with traditional wooden buildings and narrow streets.

The exhibition space presents detailed models depicting the transformation of Osaka through the Edo, Meiji, Taisho, and Showa periods from 1603 to the 1900s.

Throughout the museum, visitors discover authentic elements of Japanese urban life including machiya merchant houses, public bathhouses, fire lookout towers, and meeting halls.

Located near Tenjimbashisuji 6-chome Station, the museum operates Wednesday through Monday from 10:00 to 17:00, with admission fees of 600 yen for adults.

The museum employs a lighting system that changes throughout the day, creating different atmospheres from morning to night across the reconstructed Edo-period townscape.
