A
huge amusement centre, Dotombori offers wall-to-wall restaurants and is
situated along the south bank of the Dotombori Canal. Almost every building
in this area has three to four floors of restaurants with prices ranging
from reasonable to sky-high. Competition is high among the restaurants
and many often promote their establishments through various elaborate
ideas. Along with that, Dotombori also features cinemas and theatres,
such as the Bunraku puppet show, which is slowly gaining popularity among
the younger generation.
Otherwise
known as the American village, this area is filled with trendy shops and
restaurants, as well as discreet love hotels. This unique village encompasses
colourful graffiti, a gargantuan Tower Records, the futuristic Wave complex,
and the Disney store that offers every child's dream toy! Another scene
of interest would be the general ambience of the village, compliments
from the motley crowd of Japanese teens who 'hang-out' here. A small concrete
park dominates the centre of this village. It offers visitors a good place
to view the action around the village.
