Housed within Osaka's historic Tobita Shinchi district, Taiyoshi Hyakuban is a registered Tangible Cultural Property that originally operated as an extravagant brothel disguised as a luxurious ryōtei. Evoking the otherworldly grandeur of the bathhouse in Studio Ghibli's Spirited Away, the interior unfolds into arched wooden bridges, garden-view corridors, and themed dining chambers complete with geisha stages and samurai motifs. Today, visitors can explore this breathtaking architectural time capsule while enjoying reasonably priced sukiyaki, hotpots, and fresh sashimi. It remains an unforgettable dining experience that seamlessly blends provocative history with classic Japanese culinary tradition.
