狗狗太上皇:“🌟Must-see photo spots (with best times) 1. Glico Sign - 👉Camera locations: Middle of Ebisu Bridge (front view for panoramic shots), Riverside under the bridge (upward view with street view), 3rd floor of the drugstore across the street (close-up shots to avoid crowds) - ⏰Time: No one's around before 9:00 AM! The atmosphere is even more dramatic at night when the lights are on (brightest from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM). - ✨Tips: Wear light-colored clothing; the neon background is incredibly vibrant! 2. Dotonbori Canal - 👉Camera locations: Walk along the riverside promenade, using the giant Crab Doraku sign or takoyaki model as your backdrop. - ✨Tips: Have a friend take a photo from the other side, capturing the canal, lanterns, and you in the frame for a truly Japanese movie-inspired look! 3. American Village Graffiti Wall - 👉Address: West side of Shinsaibashi (near Tanimachi 4-chome Subway Station) - A variety of street-style graffiti and colorful shipping containers. Styling in trendy, cool clothes will make you look like you're in a magazine shoot! 4. European Village Cobblestone Street - 👉Suochosuji Street, with its British-style streetlights and brick buildings. Strolling in a short skirt and snapping a few photos will instantly transform you into the streets of London~ 👗Outfit Tips - Japanese-Sweet Girl: Light-colored JK skirt/floral dress with white sneakers and a canvas bag. - Street Style: Loose T-shirt, overalls, and sneakers. A baseball cap is even more striking. - Retro Style: High-waisted jeans and a crop top. The retro poster wall at the entrance of Shinsaibashi PARCO is a perfect spot for photos! 📌 Tips - Many drugstores have cartoon figures in front of them (like Matsumoto Kiyoshi's Kumamon), offering free photos with them—super cute! - The cherry blossom season (March-April) and Christmas decorations (November-December) in front of Daimaru Department Store are great hidden photo spots. - Go in the evening to take photos against the light—your hair will glow! Remember to use live mode to capture some moments!
