Dotonbori Museum Namikiza

A museum of "theater city" Dotonbori. Which replicates a 200-year-old theater. It have small revolbing stage. Revolbing stage was born at Dotonbori theater district in 1758. You can ride revolbing stage, and take movies or photos as if you are the "Kabuki actor". (Kimono in photo panels is real Kabuki actor costume! If you shoot in two dimensions, it looks like you're really wearing it.) Main exhibit is a 20minute time travel with audio plays in English, Japanese, Chinese, and Korean. You can get the "theater city" Dotonbori Map, which is only available to visitors. The map is an excerpted representation of only the theater city's related facilities, and also shows the old times. It comes with coupons that offer discounts from certain facilities nearby.

We enjoyed our experience here. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. We watched a 13 minute video presentation about the history of theatre in Dotonbori while enjoying complimentary tea and sweets. We then watched a performance including magic and tricks. It was interactive (audience involvement) and lots of fun. We then tried out the revolving stage and had plenty of photo opportunities. Our children (aged 9 and 7) enjoyed it very much. Highly recommended for families seeking a quiet rest from the shops and restaurants.

Osaka Museum of History

Reviewed By CharlieV2011 - Chicago, United States

The Osaka Museum of History provides a wealth of information through presenting artifacts and models that display Osaka’s history. The museum’s many floors present information and artifacts obtained from excavations, pictures, and written record. The most interesting parts are the Edo period up to present, with detailed models that make history come alive. You can see what homes and neighborhoods looked like during the medieval period, and up through the 20th century. So much information on display includes fashion, domestic appliances, trade and economics, and architecture of Osaka through time.
