Glico sign, Dotonbori – Run into the frame!

#Osaka Travel 🏃♂️ Glico Sign, Dotonbori – Run into the frame and take a picture of yourself! If you come to Japan and want to have a check-in photo like the “real Osaka”, you must come to the Glico Signboard in the middle of Dotonbori, a popular photo spot that no one should miss! Japanese people even say that “If you don’t pose while running in front of the river, it’s like you haven’t been to Osaka!” 😄📸 ⸻ 📍 Location & Travel • Located in the heart of Dotonbori, a great place to eat, travel, walk, and shop • Get off at Namba or Shinsaibashi MRT Station and walk into Dotonbori Alley for about 5–10 minutes • You will see the Dotonbori River and Ebisu-bashi Bridge, which is a popular photo spot for the sign ⸻ 🏃♂️ What is the Glico Signboard? • It is an advertisement for the snack company Glico (the owner of Pocky!) • A picture of a person running to the finish line with their hands raised, a classic design Located here since 1935 • At night, the LED lights change color, so pretty! ⸻ 📸 How to take a great photo • Stand on the Ebisu-bashi Bridge and pose like the sign (stretch your arms and legs 😂) • Don't forget to wait for the lights to change or take a photo at night for even more beauty • If you're with friends, I recommend taking a wide-angle photo showing the bridge + sign + river ⸻ 🍜 Travel + eat around Dotonbori • It's not just the sign! This area is heaven for foodies • Try the famous takoyaki, giant crab in front of Kani Doraku, Ichiran ramen • Plenty of shops selling souvenirs, clothes, cafes, and cosmetics ⸻ 🛍️ Souvenirs from Glico • Next to the sign, there's a Glico Official shop! They have special flavors of Pocky, souvenirs, and Glico sign-themed products • They're also great souvenirs Or take a photo with a giant box, it's fun ⸻ ✅ Summary like a friend invites you to travel • The Glico sign is a landmark that you should visit both day and night. • The atmosphere is lively, always crowded, but it's so much fun! • It's a classic corner that must be in the Osaka album. • Stop to eat, walk around, and take a running photo to end the trip with a bang. If you come to Osaka and don't take a photo running in front of the Glico sign, it's like you haven't really arrived! 🏃♂️📷✨
