Japan Osaka Osaka

Dotonbori

A vibrant entertainment district in Osaka known for its flashy neon signs, enormous street food selection, and iconic Glico Man billboard.

Tips from the community

This whole district is fantastic fun, especially at night. Wandering along the river with friends, crossing the bridge to get a photo of the famous Gilco running man billboard, eating takoyaki from a street vendor, and taking in the electric atmosphere. As iconic neon-lit night scenes go, this one is better than anything you’ll find in Tokyo. Dotonbori is all kinds of fun.
