Living in Fuse

A junction station with shopping streets spreading like a net to the east and west, along with a department store and AEON, regarded as the largest commercial area in Higashiosaka City. Namba is in the 10-minute range without a transfer, and it is clearly cheaper than downtown Osaka. As a working-class commercial district that grew up as a railway hub in the Taisho era, it suits people who want old charm and practicality rather than glamour.

This is Higashiosaka's central entertainment district, where the Kintetsu Osaka Line and Nara Line meet. The shopping streets by the station are lively and food and daily-life prices are low, and Kintetsu reaches Namba quickly, so it is regarded as a good-value residential area. It is a working-class neighborhood mixed with small factories, so the atmosphere differs by area, which you should keep in mind. It is a solid choice for people living alone for the first time or settling in who want low living costs along with Namba access.
