Osaka Kuidaore — Dotonbori & Shinsekai Food Tour Route
This is the classic itinerary for Osaka, the city of "eating until you go bankrupt" (kuidaore). Dotonbori gets crowded after dinner, so visiting in the early afternoon will result in shorter wait times. Many shops at Kuromon Market close by 4 or 5 PM, so visiting before lunch is recommended; for long-standing establishments, it is safer to have cash ready.
