If you want to enjoy Osaka as an image lover, you can’t talk without the two major spots of Dotonbori and Shinsekai.
Both are as powerful as the area where you can enjoy the atmosphere of Osaka.
Unlike other parts of Japan, the atmosphere of Osaka is unique, so your image of Japan may change a little.
By the way, there are many places where you can eat delicious food.
Dotonbori
Dotonbori is a tourist destination that stretches along the Dotonbori River.
The characteristic landmarks are Glico Sign and Ebisubashi.
Huge signboards and flashy neon lights that stick out to the road are lined up, and you can enjoy everything from eating takoyaki to souvenirs.
It is a lively area with a mixture of various spots to enjoy.
Witness the two major signboards in Osaka!
First of all, I would like to introduce these two signboards.
These spots are listed in the guidebook, but these are corporate signs.
It’s amazing that the signboard of a certain company has become a tourist spot and tourists from all over the world are rushing in.

Glico Sign is the signboard of Glico, a leading confectionery maker in Japan.
He is familiar with the pose of running through with a refreshing smile and is loved by everyone.
This huge signboard is 20m high and 10m wide.
Actually, we use 140,000 LEDs, and the color of the signboard changes according to the color of the sky depending on the time of day.
At night, you may see a scene where the background of the signboard that keeps running changes one after another.
Flashy signboard and photo shoot
Osakans just love flashy things.
I am struck by the guts of a merchant who wants to attract more customers than everyone else.
And a commemorative photo with a flashy signboard in this area will be an indispensable event for your trip to Osaka.
Let’s take a picture that says “This is Osaka!”
