When it comes to the most, the place where you can feel "I finally arrived in Osaka, Dotonbori~!" is in front of Guliguo's signature billboard. How many tourists have turned their backs to this billboard to take photos as a souvenir? Although the well-known photography attraction for borrowing places is on the Rong Bridge connecting the Dotonbori River, it is difficult to accurately seize the shooting opportunity because of the people coming and going on the bridge. At this time, it is recommended to take a photo from the lower first-order pedestrian trail or from the "Dotonbori Riverside Walking Trail" (photo) that can be seen from the panoramic view of the front of the Guliko billboard! It’s rare to come here, remember to take a photo in a classic running position or upload a photo from various angles to check in as a souvenir!

Speaking of food specialties representing Osaka, one of them is "takitaki". Although there are several shops selling takoyaki in Dotonbori, it has become a well-known store "Octopus Masato Dotonbori Main Store (Cooking Takoyaki)" that is familiar to everyone because of the CM advertising song "Taoshima from Osaka (Osaka Exit るときれてって ~♪ たのたこここここここここここここここここここここここここここここここここここここここここここここここここここここここここここここここここここここここここここここここ。 In addition to taking out, you can also eat in the store!

Dotonbori recommended must-visit ⑦ You can also become a Ukiyo-e painter! "Ukiyo-e Museum above"
You can also experience the traditional Japanese culture in Dotonbori! "Ukiyoe Pavilion" is a facility that displays Japanese artwork - Ukiyoe. Most of the Ukiyo-e in Edo (Tokyo) are based on beauty portraits or landscape paintings, but the Ukiyo-e above (Osaka) is based on active Kabuki performers as the main axis of creation. It does not embellish and beautify it, but draws a real real world, so most of the works are created deeply rooted in people's hearts. You can also experience making wood prints for Ukiyo-e in the museum, which is super recommended! What you can experience here is the last production step of applying pigment on the plate and printing it on the mulch paper. It is called "transfer (発 (白) り". The first-time production can also be completed. You can experience the project of transferring it to the plate using 3 to 4 different colors, and the finished product can be taken home! The latest is to make an appointment 3 days before the experience day (the first arrival is preferred)! In addition, in the museum store of 1F, there are also a variety of products such as kimono items.
Dotonbori recommends "Fazenji Temple, which is a must-visit water worship. Water Hanging Unmoving"
If you want to enjoy the traditional Japanese scenery in the past, the good place recommended by the editor is "Fazenji Yokoto". "Fazenji Yokoto" is hidden in the territory of Fazenji that existed nearly 400 years ago. It is different from the lively atmosphere of the prosperous business district in the city. The stone paths along the way, the shimmer light of lanterns, the fragrance of line fragrance and the rising white smoke are filled with Japanese nostalgia. In the area, the "Wazenji Unmoving" worships the local residents who are called "Mr. Impressed (お斕ん)". Visitors poured water on the body of "Mr. Impressed" to pray for prayers. The posture of his body covered with moss is also very rare in Japan. Although he has suffered from the disasters of Zhurong and wars, "Mr. Impressing" still sticks to this place and continues to protect the people.When you have the opportunity to come here, as long as you are full of gratitude and pray with your hands together, you will surely be able to achieve a peaceful world without barriers!
