エリア:道頓堀・なんば・心斎橋 おすすめ時期: Any season
観光ジャンル: Landmark 観光 タイプ: Landmark Shopping 観光 特徴: Night outDotombori is one of Osaka's three most famous spots, and possible the most well-known of them all. It is order in chaos. a maddening mix of people and lights and sounds that will assault your senses. Lovely Planet went as far as comparing it to the futuristic cityscape of Black Runner. But in my opinion, Dotombori has no comparison, because ir is simply the city of Osaka unapologetically being its over-the-top self.

The name comes from the Dotombori river, a canal that runs east to west through the middle of the Dotombori district. Although it was a theatre district starting in the seventeenth century, Dotombori is primarily a shopping and entertainment area today, so there are numerous bars, izakaya, restaurants, food stalls, and entertainments facilities. The city has done extensive urban revitalization work in the area in recent years to boost tourism, focusing on beautification of the canal-side boardwalks.
Famous landmarks include the giant crab with moving pincers ; the night view of the Glico "running man" billboard. Ebisubashi Bridge ; the Ferris wheel on the side of the Don Kihote shop ; and the view of the river itself from one go its many bridges. There is a Starbucks at the most crowded point in Dotombori, which offers a great view if you like people-watching or just want to take a breather. Boat tour go along Dotombori River and connect to other parts of Osaka. Don't forget to pick up some affordable, delicious okonomiyaki and takoyaki from the out door food stalls near the river, as both of these are Osaka specialities.
