First, exit Konjaku-So and start walking to the right.

You will soon come to the end of the street, so turn right.

When you find the end of the street again, turn left here.

Seeing FamilyMart on your left, keep going straight,

You can find one of the symbol of Dotonbori, the crab sign!

Just to the left of the crab is the beginning of Dotonbori Street. Let’s see how energetic the place is!

Continue straight ahead.

The lively townscape is just in front of you!

Follow the road all the way to the end to find yourself in a messy, colorful area with “Minami”-vibes.

Namba area is called “Minami”, meaning south by the local people.

It is not often that you are sandwiched on both sides by a crab and a dragon, is it?

May you fully enjoy your unique sandwich experience…

Enter the Sennichimae Shopping Street on the left.

Turn right at the corner with the Ramen shop.

Let’s continue on this narrow path.

You can fully enjoy the capsule toys in this area by the way. You can find crazy and cute products sometimes.

Walking straight ahead to enter a narrow path with a Japanese traditional atmosphere.

Then you will arrive at Hozenji Temple.

It seems that people are allowed to visit the temple 24 hours a day. On this day, there were quite a lot of people visiting there.

Then return to the narrow path that you just passed through.

When you reach the road back to the shopping street, turn left.

Let’s go straight back.

Then leave the shopping street in the direction of the crab sign.

You can find the Takoyaki shop “Takohachi”, again.

Exciting and Tasty Night Out in Namba – Takohachi and Yakitori Kuwadori

Cross the Tazaemon Bridge on the left side of Takohachi.

Learn development projects along Dotonbori River

Just walking on the bridge, you see four octopuses. The cute ones really like to show off…

You can find the stairs going down to the riverside.

There are also many restaurants along the river.

Ichiran is now very popular among foreign tourists, but what is the reason for this massive popularity? – I’m just curious.

Here is the Dotonbori River Cruise ticket office. I often see pictures of night cruising, so it must be beautiful at night.

It was a clear, cloudless day with this beautiful view.

So the other side of the octopus you see the crab. It’s a city full of colors and letters and your vision must be busy.

I would like to end this walk now that we are back in the center of the city.

1. First, take the elevator to the right of Exit 10 to the ground level.
   If you don’t need the elevator, you can exit from Exit 6 and go out next to the “JOLLY プレリー日本橋ビル” building, which is in the third picture of this guide.

2. This is the view when you go up from the elevator. Cross the street towards the building with a blue sign that says “JOLLY.”

3. Turn right in front of the “JOLLY プレリー日本橋ビル” building and go straight.

4. When you see a sign “24H” of a parking lot just in front of you, turn left and go forward the narrower street.

5. Go straight down the street like this.

6. After walking for about a minute, you will see a building called “BON Condo Namba Nipponbashi” on your right. Turn right at this corner.

7. Walk a short distance and you will see the entrance to Konjaku-So on your left.

8. You will find this Noren (the curtain) at the entrance. We hope you all will have a great time!
