Hey guys, I went to Osaka, Japan last week, that was awesome.
Dotonbori is located in the heart of Osaka, Japan and is one of the city’s most vibrant and popular tourist destinations. This area is renowned for its unique culinary delights, shopping, and entertainment venues, attracting visitors from around the world.
The towering walls of neon that cover the buildings of Dotonbori are a testament to Japan’s bright optimism during a time when neon reigned supreme as a new and promising technology. The entire area is preserved in this retro-futurist ambiance, perfect for tourists looking for a stereotypical Japanese metropolitan vibe.
The unofficial mascot of Dotonbori is the Glico Man, a large neon sign featuring a man running on a blue race track positioned directly above the Dotonbori bridge. The billboard was first erected in 1935 as an advertisement for Glico, the Japanese food company that produces Pocky and Pretz. It is a popular photo spot for tourists and locals alike.
