Dotonbori by Day

Osaka is called the kitchen of Japan, and people come here to eat. One of the draws is Dontobori, filled with restaurants, food stands, and shops.

The official mascot these days for the area is Kuidaore Taro. A doll with a red jacket, bow tie and large mouth, symbolizing the city of kuidore- eat until you drop.

As to the other weird figure, the scary looking baby thing with big feet, that's Billiken, who we'll get back to later.もっと詳しく
