Dotonbori
道頓堀
Namba, Osaka · 大阪
A canal-side strip in Namba lined with oversized mechanical signage, standing bars and food counters, at its best after dark when the whole thing is lit.
Why it’s worth it
It is a spectacle rather than a meal — eat one block back, on Hozenji Yokocho or in the arcades, then come here for the walk and the signs.
