Streets squares and districts to visit Kansai

For a long time, the district was home to theaters. Now shopping malls have taken over the area. Dōtonbori is the most lively and bustling district in Ōsaka. It is also the unmissable place in order to satisfy one's many culinary desires. It is advisable to take a look at Ebisu-bashi bridge (also nicknamed nanpa-bashi, the dredge bridge) to get a general view of the neighborhood. It is from there that you can see the famous "Glico Man". A short walk away is the small Hōzen-ji temple and the picturesque Yokochō Hōzen-ji alley.

Den Den Town is often compared to the Akihabara district in Tokyo. It is indeed the otaku district of Ōsaka. Strolling through the streets, one can find shops with shelves packed to the brim with manga and anime figurines, endless shelves of video games, shops specialising in electronics or cosplay, but also maid cafes, for a 100% Japanese, modern, electric and delirious experience. Originally, the neighborhood was called denki no machi, the electronic village. Its nickname has now become the most popular.
