What is Dotonbori?
Osaka is a designated city in the Kansai region of Honshu in Japan. And the best place to experience Osaka's food culture is the neon-laden Dotonbori district near Namba Station. Each year, tourists flock over from all over to world to try the (street) food there. Needless to say, it is a very attractive place. Despite being a food street, Dontobori Street looks more like an amusement park. Hence, it is famous for its eye-catching signage and billboards with a giant pufferfish, an octopus, a clown, the Kani Douraku crab all vying for your attention.
