Unlike Kyoto, Osaka felt more vibrant and bustling when we went out to discover the city in the evening. As we walked along the streets, we found ourselves in the Dotonbori area. The food establishments were incredibly enticing, featuring enormous 3D signage, vibrant colors, and the mouth-watering aroma of food cooking in stalls outside the restaurants.
I couldn’t understand the fascination with the Glico Man landmark; the area was overwhelmed with so many tourists, mimicking the pose and taking pictures from all angles. What makes this illuminated billboard so appealing? Not wanting to miss out, we too stood in front—albeit off to the side of the Glico Man—and took a selfie. Hahaha.
Hunger got the better of us, and we ordered the first thing we saw – gyoza, and ate standing in front of the stall. Then shortly after, we narrowed down our dinner option for takoyaki. This time, we decided to sit to savor the tray of four different flavors.
It was hard to find a good Matcha Latte, and we had to settle for Koi Thé with almond soy. The day was too long, and it was best to call it a day. I recorded 11.17 kilometers on my AppleWatch! So, a good rest to be ready for a new adventure the next day.
