"Surprisingly Uncrowded"
Let's take a stroll along the Dotonbori River, starting from the familiar Ebisubashi Bridge in Dotonbori towards the Minatomachi River Place side.

While Ebisubashi Bridge is bustling with tourists, there were hardly any people on the west side from Dotonbori Bridge.
A hidden gem?

There are benches for two people lined up along Dotonbori.

I took out takoyaki from Kureo-ru JUNK and enjoyed it on a bench in Dotonbori.
It feels like a true Osaka experience!

Walking along the Dotonbori River, you'll come across the impressive Daikoku Bridge.
It seems they've rebuilt the wooden bridge. And there are benches too.

Walking a little past the bridge, there's a spot mysteriously illuminated.
You can enjoy the view from the bench here. Well, it seems like a great spot for a date night with the Dotonbori River nightscape.
So, why not use these spots as relaxing rest areas around Namba Station?
