Step into the electric heart of Osaka on this immersive audio walking tour of Dotonbori -- the city's legendary canal-side entertainment district where neon never sleeps and the food is always extraordinary. In this episode, we trace the story of a neighborhood born from an ambitious 17th-century canal project and transformed over four centuries into Japan's most famous food street. Walk with us past towering mechanical crabs, the glowing Glico Running Man, and sizzling takoyaki stalls, then slip down a cobblestone alley to find a moss-covered temple hidden just steps from the chaos. From the history of kabuki theater and kuidaore culture to the unwritten rules of kushikatsu and the best time to catch the neon at its most spectacular, this tour brings Dotonbori to life in your ears.
