Centered around the Shinsaibashisuji shopping street, and extending from Nagahori-dori in the north to Dotonbori in the south, it features numerous boutiques, specialty stores, restaurants, and large shopping malls. From morning to night, it bustles with citizens and visitors. Besides shopping, enjoying authentic Osaka cuisine is also a great pleasure. You can feast on Japanese dishes like Okonomiyaki, Kushikatsu, Takoyaki, and Ramen, or savor flavors from other parts of Asia, Europe, and around the world.

It offers a wide array of dishes, including ramen, takoyaki, teppanyaki, grilled skewers, conveyor belt sushi, fugu cuisine, and various desserts. The giant billboards lining both sides of the Dotonbori Canal are also a major highlight, with the Glico Running Man sign and Kani Doraku's giant crab sign being particularly famous.
