Takashimaya Osaka
Takashimaya at Nankai Namba. Pick this department store or Daimaru — not both.

Kuromon Market
A produce market from morning to early afternoon. Stalls wind down later — do not plan dinner here.

Nipponbashi Den Den Town
Electronics, models and anime. Same station as Kuromon, different axis — if you came for figures, skip the food street.

Namba Yasaka Shrine
The lion-head stage is the landmark. Fifteen minutes, then Kuromon or Sennichimae.

Doguyasuji
The kitchenware arcade. Fine for a knife — not a souvenir strip.

Sennichimae
Theatres and diners. A Namba-south night, or the Dotonbori signs — pick one.

Namba Grand Kagetsu
Yoshimoto’s comedy theatre. It is the plan only with a ticket; otherwise the facade is enough.

Senba
The old merchant grid. Walk it by day — shops close before a Dotonbori night.

Chibo Dotonbori
A known okonomiyaki room on the canal. Pick this or Mizuno — not both.
