About Dotonbori
Dotonbori is Osaka's neon-lit heart, where fans celebrating a Gamba Osaka win traditionally leap from the Ebisu Bridge into the canal below. The canal-side strip is lined with takoyaki stalls and ramen joints that stay open through the small hours. Massive illuminated billboards and the iconic Glico Running Man sign make it the city's ultimate victory-lap destination.
