Billiken in Osaka ✨

2025/9/12 Edited to

... Read more新世界を歩いていると、まず目に入るのが“金色のビリケン”の存在感。提灯がずらっと並ぶ通りに、にこにこ顔の像がどーんといて、「大阪に来た!」って気分が一気に上がりました。写真を撮るなら、夜の方がネオンや提灯の色が乗って、金色がより映えるのでおすすめです。 そもそも「ビリケンって何?」と思って調べつつ現地で眺めたのですが、ビリケンは“幸福の神様”として親しまれているキャラクター。大阪では特に新世界〜通天閣周辺で有名で、お土産や看板にもよく登場します。初めてでも「大阪の金色のやつ=ビリケン」だと分かるくらい、街に溶け込んでいました。 「ビリケン 大阪 どこ?」と迷う人は、まず新世界エリアを目指すのが近道。通天閣の周辺を歩くと、ビリケン像やビリケンモチーフがあちこちにあって、自然と“ビリケン巡り”になります。私も地図で一点狙いというより、串カツ屋さんが並ぶ通りをぶらぶらしながら見つけるのが楽しかったです。 通天閣のビリケン像でよく聞くのが「足の裏」。実際、“足の裏をなでるとご利益がある”って言われていて、みんな並んで触っていました。触る前後に手を拭けるように、除菌シートやハンカチがあると安心。混む時間帯だと写真も撮りにくいので、空いているタイミングを狙うとゆっくり楽しめます。 そして新世界といえば串カツ。赤い横断幕で「日本一の串かつ」みたいな文字を見かけると、つい吸い込まれます。ビリケンと串カツはセット感があって、食べ歩きしながら“串カツ×ビリケン”の大阪らしい写真が撮れるのも良かったポイント。次に行くなら、昼と夜で街の表情が変わるので、時間を分けて散歩してみたいです。
