A town with a canal loved by the locals. Masses of neon lights and the atmosphere of the 17th century coexist in the area. Dotonbori is a large scale downtown along the south bank of the Dotonbori-gawa Canal. Osaka is known as the gastronomists' town, and thus the entire area of Dotonbori is thronged with an unbelievable number of restaurants and amusement facilities, and is dearly loved by the Osakaites. There are theaters that play traditional puppet shows Bunraku, storytellers' halls and other popular entertainment as well as a number of movie theaters.

Kuromon Ichiba is one of the most well known central food markets in Osaka, Japan. And while it’s the type of place that could be quite touristy, something about the entire market remained very pleasant, quiet (though busy), and I thought it was an excellent place to get started eating in Osaka.

Shinsekai (新世界) is Osaka's "new world," a district that was developed before the war and then neglected in the decades afterwards. At the district's center stands Tsutenkaku Tower, the nostalgia evoking symbol of Shinsekai. Another noted attraction is kushikatsu, one of Osaka's best known specialties. It is a dish, composed of various skewered, battered and deep fried foods. Varieties on offer range from chicken and beef, to pumpkin and asparagus, to the banana and ice cream dessert varieties. Many of Shinsekai's kushikatsu restaurants are open 24 hours, but only truly come alive when the lights come on at night.

One of the best sushi places you'll experience in Osaka's Doutombori district. There are two of these restaurants across from each other. The fish on the rice is a generous portion and the prices are very reasonable. If you're a foreigner I would try as many of the fish variety that you don't get at home but must try is Red Shrimp (40), Uni, and their horse mackerel. Both places get real busy so expect a lineup and wait time since the restaurants aren't large. Also, you are allowed to smoke in here so if you hate the smell of smoke during your meal don't go here.

Sightseeing

This is a great castle to visit. Unfortunately, some people go straight to the main keep, see the museum and go away disappointed with the elevator and concrete. On my second trip I didn't even go in the museum. The basic layout of the castle is nearly in tact. There are several original gates and yagura and the stone walls are simply amazing. Take your time to enjoy everything Osaka Castle has to offer.
