Osaka Street Food Tour (Dotonbori & Shinsekai)
Eat your way through Japan's kitchen capital starting at the neon-lit Dotonbori canal strip for takoyaki (octopus balls) and okonomiyaki (savory pancakes), then head to retro Shinsekai for kushikatsu (deep-fried skewers). Osaka's street food culture is legendary, and self-guided grazing is the best way to fuel up before or after a Hanshin Tigers or Cerezo Osaka match.
Things to Do
Dōtonbori Fan Walk
Dōtonbori is Osaka's neon-blazing entertainment strip and the epicentre of Japanese sports fan culture — on Hanshin Tigers victory nights, fans famously leap from the Ebisubashi Bridge into the Dōtonbori canal in mass celebration. Street food stalls offering takoyaki, okonomiyaki, and kushikatsu line the canal, fuelling fans before and after events at Kyocera Dome Osaka. The giant Glico man billboard and giant mechanical crab make this one of the world's most photogenic fan celebration zones.

The neon-lit restaurants, karaoke bars, and ramen shops surrounding the canal create an electric post-game atmosphere that is uniquely Osakajin. The Glico Man running sign has become the background for a thousand fan celebration photos.
