What the guides say about Kushikatsu Daruma Dotonbori
The canal is the draw. Walk the Tonbori Riverwalk, about 600 m of promenade, then see the Glico Sign beside Ebisu Bridge. For food, Kushikatsu Daruma Dotonbori fries skewers at the counter, Dotonbori Imai Honten serves udon, and Okonomiyaki Mizuno makes okonomiyaki. Behind the canal, Hozenji Temple has a moss-covered Fudo statue that visitors splash with water. The Dotonbori Konamon Museum has a wax takoyaki class on its third floor.
