About Dotonbori
Located at the southern end of Shinsaibashi, Dotonbori is a well-known and bustling business district, famous for its neighboring theaters, commercial and entertainment venues, and as the birthplace of Osaka cuisine. Japanese people often say "eat in Osaka", which shows that there are many restaurants here. There are huge billboards on both sides of the river with exaggerated and attractive shapes. Among them, the big crab signboard of Glico's signboard and Kani Dōraku's crab are the places where tourists take photos of the most. At night when the neon lights are flashing, you can also take a sightseeing boat and enjoy the night view of the city.

Get ready to get lost!Dotonbori could be a vacation in itself! This massively popular area is filled with three things: food, people, and lights! Dont expect to go here and be the only tourists around, oh no, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to make new friends if you so choose. The lights brighten up the sky and you’ll lose track of time if you’re not careful! The lively atmosphere of Dotonbori could keep any old soul awake through the night. There’s no worry for a food shortage here. Restaurants line the alleys and the delicious aroma could pull you into restaurant after restaurant. Forget that you’re full! The food will smell too tempting to ignore!You haven’t been to Osaka if you havent been to Dotonbori!
This place is a food lovers paradise!! I tried Toroyaki which is balls with octopus inside them. Wow was it ever good! I also tried seafood noodles that were served to me on a hot griddle. If you like shopping then you will also love this place. All the big names are there. Go to this place you won’t regret it.
most famous tourist destination in Osaka .A bustling commercial street that is representing of the minami area of Osaka . how to get there via train . take the midosuji line to Namba station and walk north towards shinsaibashi about 5-10 min walk .lots of food ..
Osaka- The Japanese transportation almost killed me! It took me forever to transfer the subway and got to my hostel. Shinsaibashi and Dotonbori are way too crowded.
i absolutely recommend you to go to Dotonbori, during the day you can enjoy the walk and do some shopping and during the night enjoy the night lights and of course the delicious street food! try the ice cream in the bread its absolutely yummy!
it was very good experience here in Osaka dotonburi is the area of night life and sight seeing at the same time you should come at least once ^^
Leave enough room for the japanese sake, skewers, dumplings, noodles, sushi, street food etc! Bars, restaurants in this area operate til late!! Highly revommend!
Crowded place for shopping and dining. recommend to stay around this area
Super crowded in the evening, recommend to go during the day for some pictures and shopping! Everyone was taking pictures from the bridge, but actually from right across the Gilco sign is a pretty good place for pictures and not that crowded too.Just around the corner is a good quality/ service Japanese BBQ restaurent, be sure to make a reservation in advance or the waiting time would be around 1.5-2 hours.
Dotonbori is a must! We went here to try out different Japanese street food and it was so good, Takoyaki and fried ice cream is the best. Highly recommended
