went Osaka last week and stayed in Dotonbori area, love how vibrant the area is!
love the area both day and night!
lotsa good food in the area too: best Japanese crabs ever!
Kani Doraku
1-6-18 Dotonbori, Chuo Ward, Osaka, Osaka Prefecture 542-0071, Japan
the bbq claws they sell at their outdoor stall is soso nia, but the crab lunch/dinner set inside the spacious restaurant is wonderful!
famous crabby signboard, u wont miss it!
best pancakes ever!
doutonbori ZERO cafe
道頓堀1-6-14 (平松ビル2F), 大阪市中央区, Ōsaka-fu, Japan
too yums, already mangled by the time i remember to take a picture of it haha.
its at this ulu 2nd floor cafe along the Kani Doraku stretch.
best gyoza!
Gyoza King
multiple branches in Dotonbori itself, this one that i went to is again along the Kani Doraku stretch.
the soups are too salty for my palate but the gyoza is yums, juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside, skin is of the right thickness. and cheap! but dont expect excellent service for the price.
oops no photos of my hotel but its Hotel Vista Grande Osaka, right smacked in the red light district just behind the vibrant Dotonbori area hahaha. if u dont mind walking through all the pimps to reach the hotel then it is a really value for money hotel.
