Naniwa-ku, Administrative ward in Osaka, Japan

Naniwa-ku covers 4.37 square kilometers of urban space with a population of 51,567 residents in central Osaka, featuring residential and commercial zones.

The ward experienced severe destruction during World War II air raids in March 1945, which resulted in the loss of most pre-war buildings.

The Den Den Town district within Naniwa-ku functions as a center for electronics retail, housing major gaming companies like Capcom and SNK.

The ward connects to multiple railway stations, including Shin-Imamiya, JR Namba, and Daikokucho, providing transportation links across the Osaka metropolitan area.

Liberty Osaka, the Osaka Human Rights Museum, documents and presents the experiences of local Korean and Burakumin communities in the ward.
