Dōtonbori Bridge

The Dōtonbori Bridge spans 38.2 meters across the Dotombori River, connecting both sides of the commercial district with its 43.6-meter width.

The bridge emerged during the Edo period when Osaka developed into a major trading center, facilitating movement between commercial areas along the canal.

From the bridge, visitors observe the Glico neon sign, street performers, and numerous food establishments that represent Osaka's culinary traditions.

Multiple subway lines intersect near the bridge, with Namba Station providing direct access to the shopping and entertainment district.

The Tombori River Walk underneath the bridge allows people to explore waterfront restaurants while watching boats pass through the canal.
