On the ninth floor there is a late Edo Osaka street, rebuilt at full size.

You go up to the ninth floor and come out into a street lined with wooden houses: it is a block of late Edo-period Osaka rebuilt at a scale of one to one, inside a building, with a painted sky that changes from day to night. The floor below tells the story of the city through the Meiji, Taishō and Shōwa eras with models of the houses.

Municipal museum of housing, inside the building of the City of Osaka housing information centre, level with the sixth block of Tenjinbashisuji.
