The Shin-Kabukiza Theatre from which HOTEL ROYAL CLASSIC OSAKA was born was cherished for many years as the symbol of this area, famous for its theatrical entertainment. The surrounding streets are adorned with the charming Namba Rakuza signs and gates, giving the neighborhood a special feeling of a secret area. Once widely known as the pleasure quarters of "Namba-shinchi", this area currently grabs attention for its unique proprietors and popular items, as well as its transformation into an unrivaled gourmet paradise. In addition, this area is known for being the site of the "first projected film programme in Japan", and the "first professional performance by a jazz band in Japan", and such culturally and artistically relevant spots in the area make a stroll around highly worthwhile.
