Dotonbori Review: Walk, Taste, Shop, and Have Endless Fun!

If you come to Osaka and don’t visit Dotonbori, it’s like you haven’t really arrived🤭 This is the hottest district along the canal in the heart of Osaka, filled with neon signs, local restaurants, and lively crowds all day long. Especially the Glico sign, the legendary runner that has become a symbol of the city.

Strolling here is never boring, with shops offering takoyaki, okonomiyaki, sushi, ramen, and a variety of Japanese sweets. There are also plenty of souvenir shops, clothing stores, and Japanese goods to choose from!
Evening to night is the best time because the whole city lights up together, creating a lively atmosphere and perfect photo opportunities.
