Despite the fact that I did not catch any fish, my girlfriend got a whopper of a Fish. It is the most unique experience I've ever had... Who is ever thought about fishing indoors? I've never thought about doing that before! I had a couple beers a great time creating memories. I'll be back for that fat carp another time! The manager was incredibly helpful and provided us a great experience the whole time!

Fun for night life and people watching! It’s very crowded but everyone is respectful of each other. Everyone waits in line until it’s their turn to order takoyaki. You don’t step on trash because everyone disposes them in the restaurants, food stalls or takes them back to the hotel. Come here for the food and lights!

Dontonbori is undoubtedly the shopping mecca of Osaka. Stretching for miles, the area is teeming with stores, full-service restaurants, and eateries offering quick bites. As you stroll along the picturesque riverfront, boats sail back and forth, providing passengers with a unique perspective of Osaka from the water. While it's easy to spend half a day exploring Dontonbori, I highly recommend returning at night when the area truly comes alive with a vibrant, electric atmosphere that exudes a completely different vibe. Among the countless shops and eateries, be sure to check out Kani Doraku for it's crab dishes, the 10 Yen Bread (with choice of cheese or custard), and Mooken for puff pastries! They were a standout during my visit! If you see a long line with locals and natives, that's where you should eat!
