Here are some photos from Dotonbori.

Kukuru

As always, the crowds are huge.

Kani Doraku

It was under repair.

Kobe beef

I have no idea what the scallop and Spider-Man are about.

Another Kani Doraku branch

There are a lot of branches even just within Dotonbori.

Kinryu Ramen

Still packed with people. Next time I’d like to have a bowl.

Kamukura Ramen

It feels like it’s gotten a bit cleaner.

A kissaten

So there’s a place like this here.

Ferris wheel

Uchi no Ramen in Amemura

It’s part of the chain behind the ramen shop Jinrui Mina Menrui, and the manager turned out to be misono, an idol who was famous back in the day. I don’t know how the food is, but I hope it does well.

A kissaten in Amemura

The illustration was cute, so I took a photo.

A kissaten I came across on the way

The parfaits look lovely.

Rikuro Ojisan’s shop

It’s famous for cheesecake, but the line is way too long. I wasn’t going to buy any right then, so I just took a photo.

Osaka Station

Scenery

Osaka has picked up some new buildings too.

The plaza

Osaka has so many places to go that it’s hard for a tourist to see them in a short visit. You just have to walk past thinking “ah, so they built something here.”
