Dotonbori
About
Dotonbori is Osaka's iconic canal-side entertainment district, famous for its dazzling, oversized neon signs and buzzing street-food culture. It is a must-visit for foodies and photographers wanting to experience the city's energetic 'kuidaore' (eat until you ruin yourself) philosophy. Expect packed crowds, mouth-watering aromas of takoyaki and okonomiyaki, and a sensory-rich nightlife experience unlike any other in Japan.
Insider Tip
For the best photo of the Glico Running Man without the crowds, head to the lower canal-level boardwalk rather than the packed Ebisubashi Bridge.
