Lonely Planet review for Dōtombori

Dōtombori is Osaka's liveliest nightlife area. It's centred around Dōtombori-gawa and Dōtombori Arcade, a strip of restaurants and theatres where a peculiar type of Darwinism is the rule for both people and shops: survival of the flashiest. In the evening, head to Ebisu-bashi bridge to sample the glittering Bladerunneresque nightscape.

    Osaka's must-see attraction

    dammat89 recommends this,

    To me, this was Osaka's stand-out attraction - other parts of Japan have better castles,views from skyscraper, etc; but there is only one Dotombori!

    Fun bright and busy atmosphere

    scottlerch recommends this,

    Ebisu-bashi bridge wasn't as Bladerrunner-esque as I hoped but it was still really cool. There are tons of great restaurants, bars, and shopping every where and there always seems to be lots of activity.
