In 1612, the merchant Yasui Doton invested his life savings in a project to divert the Umezu River into a canal system that would link the Umezu to the Kizugawa River.<\/p>\n<p>Doton never got to complete his project, however. Work on the canal system was halted by war, and Doton was killed in the Siege of Osaka in 1615. Within a year, Doton\u2019s cousins completed the canal and named it in honor of their fallen relative &#8211; <strong><em>Dotonbori<\/em>, meaning \u201cDoton Canal\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>After the canal was completed, this new means of transportation caused the area to flourish. Trade increased, and by 1626, Dotonbori had become known as an <strong>entertainment district<\/strong>, complete with theaters and playhouses on its southern bank.<\/p>\n<p>In its prime, Dotonbori hosted six Kabuki theaters, five Bunraku theaters, and the Takeda Karakuri mechanical puppet theater. The canal\u2019s north side became home to <strong>restaurants and teahouses<\/strong>. The groundwork was thus laid for the Dotonbori we know today.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Things_to_do_in_Dotonbori\">Things to do in Dotonbori<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The canal itself offers a host of activities. You can stroll along the pedestrian walkways that skirt its banks to enjoy the flash of the <strong>neon lights<\/strong>. Or, you can take a boat cruise on the canal itself.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6477\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6477\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-6477 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jrailpass.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/glico-running-man-billboard-osaka.jpg\" alt=\"Glico running man billboard famous sign in Osaka\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jrailpass.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/glico-running-man-billboard-osaka.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.jrailpass.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/glico-running-man-billboard-osaka-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.jrailpass.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/glico-running-man-billboard-osaka-768x480.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6477\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Glico billboard is the most famous symbol of Dotonbori<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<ul>\n<li>Look for <strong>iconic neon signs<\/strong>, such as the famous <strong>\u201crunning man\u201d sign of the Glico<\/strong> confectionary company.
