Insider tip — Deep in Osaka's most multicultural district, where Korean, Chinese, and Japanese communities have shared streets since the early 20th century, Minamiikuno Onsen (south Ikuno spring) is a community institution that transcends cultural boundaries; the surrounding Tsuruhashi market — Japan's largest Korea Town — offers extraordinary food and cultural immersion before or after bathing.
