While much of Japan is sanitized, the area directly surrounding Tsuruhashi station is reminisent of a bygone era. Stepping out of the station, you encounter smells unlike the rest of Japan. This area of Osaka is well-known for its bulgogi (Korean-style barbecue) restaurants and other Korean goods. Under the tracks, you will find a labyrinth of stalls selling everything from Korean wedding dresses, fake brand goods [ [大阪「偽ブランド商店街」http://www.j-cast.com/tv/2007/08/23010564.html] ] ,fruit and vegetables, to kimchi.

The Tsuruhashi and Ikuno-ku districts are also well-known for the large number of Zainichi Korean living there. Many families from Korea have lived in the Tsuruhashi district for three generations or more.
