Page "Namba" Paragraph 4

Some of the most famous images of Osaka, including the Glico Man and the Kani Doraku Crab, are located around the Dōtonbori canal in Namba.

Namba is also known as an entertainment district, and hosts many of the city's most popular bars, restaurants, nightclubs, arcades, and pachinko parlors.

The area is also known for shopping, with the Takashimaya department store ( for older styles ) and the sprawling underground Namba City shopping mall ( for newer styles ).
