Dōtonbori (道頓堀), one of the principal tourist destinations in Osaka, Japan, runs along the Dōtonbori canal from Dōtonboribashi Bridge to Nipponbashi Bridge in the Namba district of the city’s Chuo ward. Historically a theater district, it is now a popular nightlife and entertainment area characterized by its eccentric atmosphere, large illuminated signboards, and various restaurants serving Japanese food such as takoyaki (fried breaded octopus) and okonomiyaki.
One of the area’s most prominent features, a billboard for confectionery company Glico displaying the image of a runner crossing a finishing line, is seen as an icon of Osaka within Japan.
