    Dotonbori

    Dotonbori, Osaka’s iconic entertainment district, is a vibrant hub of culture, food, and nightlife. Lined with neon lights and larger-than-life billboards, including the famous Glico running man and the Kani Doraku crab, it’s a feast for the senses. Strolling along the canal, you’ll encounter street performers, lively crowds, and tantalizing aromas wafting from food stalls offering takoyaki, okonomiyaki, and kushikatsu. The blend of modern energy and traditional flavors makes Dotonbori unforgettable. Whether you’re snapping photos on the Ebisu Bridge, savoring local delicacies, or exploring hidden izakayas, Dotonbori captures the spirit of Osaka—bold, friendly, and deliciously unique. The major spots to visit include Dotonbori Canal, Glico Man Sign, Tako-yaki Stalls, Kuidaore Taro, Dotonbori Shopping Street, Ebisu Bridge, Hozenji Yokocho, and Kuromon Ichiba Market.
