The former Matsushima brothel, established in 1869, has a longer history than Tobita Shinchi, which opened in 1918. It was moved to its current location after being destroyed by fire in an air raid on Osaka in March 1945, and became a ryotei district after the postwar red-light district period. Today, there are still a few buildings that remind us of the old days. The area was at its peak from the Taisho to Showa periods, when the number of prostitutes surpassed that of Yoshiwara in Tokyo. Because the area was relocated after the war, there are no geiko buildings with a history of 100 years, such as “Taiyoshi Hyakuban” in Tobita Shinchi.
The only notable tourist attraction in the neighborhood is the Kyocera Dome Osaka, a dome stadium. This area is different from Tobita Shinchi, where Tsutenkaku Tower, Abeno Harukas, and Tennoji Zoo are located nearby. The arcade shopping street “Kujo Nine Mall Shopping Arcade” is a normal, wholesome shopping street, and does not have the obscenity of the Tobita Hondori Shopping Arcade near Tobita Shinchi.
