Overview
Dotonbori is the main entertainment strip in Osaka's Minami district, famous for the giant Glico running man and Kani Doraku's moving crab sign. Hundreds of restaurants line the Dotonbori canal, making it the best place to taste why Osaka is called 'Japan's kitchen.' At night, neon reflected in the canal makes the area even livelier. Free to explore (open street). A 5-minute walk from Namba Station, Midosuji Line Exit 14.
Opening Hours
24 hours (individual shop hours vary)
Travel Tips
