After dark for the neon lights
Dotonbori is Osaka at full volume: a canal lined with giant animated signs, the famous Glico running-man billboard, and lane after lane of takoyaki, okonomiyaki and izakaya. Free to wander and best after dark when the neon reflects on the water.
Getting there from the port
