Dotonbori （道頓堀）

At the heart of Osaka's Minami District, you'll find the bustling streets of Dotonbori, lined with famous landmarks like the Glico Sign and the 3D moving crab billboard of the restaurant Kani Douraku. There are also countless restaurants, tiny alleyways (think Hozenji Yokocho), comedy clubs, and performance theaters on and around the main pedestrian walkway to explore. Dotonbori Canal cuts through the center of the neighborhood and there are walkways on both sides and countless bridges. Cruise boats dock at a handful of boarding locations along the canal so you can hop on for a cruise or wave to the boats as they pass by.
