A splendid street view from the river
Tonbori River Cruise

The Tonbori River Cruise is a mini boat that takes you on a 20-minute cruise through Dotonbori, Osaka's representative downtown area known for its vibrant neon signs. It departs from in front of the Don Quijote Dotonbori branch, making it easy to find.

Because sunset and night view times are extremely popular, you may not be able to reserve your desired time slot if you arrive late. So, on the day of your visit, arrive early to secure a ticket for your desired time slot!
