Dotonbori in Osaka, Japan, is one of the most vibrant districts in all of Japan with its bright lights and bustling atmosphere. Home to the famous Ebisubashi Bridge, this area is an iconic destination for both tourists and locals alike. Dotonbori serves up a plethora of activities from shopping at Shinsaibashi-suji Shopping Street, an 8-block span of retail heaven, to people watching in Amerikamura or watching the drama unfold on the streets full of shops, bars and restaurants. Whether it's the 400-year old kabuki theaters and entertainment halls of Dotonbori, gourmet treats and snacks from the surrounding eateries, or even admiring Dogonbori Bridge illuminated by neon signs and giant mechanical sea creatures - there is something invigorating for everyone.
