\\Tourist Spots// The famous photo spot in Osaka Minami, "Glico's Signboard," is officially called "Dotonbori Glico Sign." From morning until late at night, tourists are constantly taking commemorative photos from Ebisubashi Bridge. In fact, the current Glico sign is the sixth one. It was renovated in 2014 and remains in place to this day. Commemorative photos from Ebisubashi Bridge are also nice, but we recommend taking photos from the River Walk on the opposite bank, where you can see the sign head-on.

When you visit Osaka, there is a course that you must visit even if you don't include it in your itinerary. That is the Glico Sign! I took pictures of the Glico Sign during the day and at night! It is pretty during the day and pretty at night, right? What do you prefer, day or night?! ✨Tip If you go to take pictures at night, there will be a lot of people, but if you stand under a bridge and take pictures, you can take good pictures, so go to a place where there are no people➿ 📍Dotonbori Glico Sign ◾️The lights turn on around 7 o'clock! Check the time before you go👒 #OsakaTravel #OsakaHotPlace

The Glico LED sign is not only a sign that indicates the popularity of the famous snack brand Glico, but it is also one of the most important landmarks in Osaka. The Glico LED sign was first built in 1953 and is located at Ebisubashi Bridge, a small bridge connecting Dotonbori and Shinsaibashi, a popular shopping district in Osaka. Throughout the years, the Glico sign has been redesigned to be unique and beautiful, until we get to the Glico sign we see today, which is now in its sixth generation. It still features the iconic Glico runner, but adds a colorful red circle symbol of Japan behind the runner, and replaces neon lights with LED lights that save many times more energy. This 6th generation sign is made up of 140,000 LED lights. The switch to LED lights is also intended to honor the three Japanese scientists who won the Nobel Prize for inventing the blue LED light bulb, an energy-saving and environmentally friendly innovation. The sign is 10.38 meters wide and 20 meters high. When night falls, the background light of the young runner is turned on, projecting various moving images, including images of Osaka’s important tourist attractions, images of the brand’s new products falling down on the runners, etc. As a snack brand loved by people all over the world, the creativity in creating the sign and the location where the sign is located are a perfect combination, making the Glico LED sign popular with tourists who stop by to take pictures with it. It has been recognized as a landmark that anyone visiting Osaka should not miss visiting and taking pictures of as a souvenir.

The best souvenir photo from Osaka is the Glico sign. 📍Address 1 Chome-10-3 Dotonbori, Chuo Ward, Osaka, 542-0071 Japan 〒542-0071 Osaka Prefecture Osaka City Chuo Ward Dotonbori 1-chome-10-3 💛Lighting up time 24 minutes after sunset to 21:00 This neon sign called Glico sign is located on Ebisu Bridge of Dotonbori River in Namba, Osaka. :: Photo checkpoint :: ✔️It comes out better when you take a picture from below rather than above Ebisu Bridge. ✔️You can take better pictures if you go to a photo spot with a new SNS photo zone. Directions to the photo spot: Enter nanohana next to the H&M store and go to the left. The waiting line is quite long. ✔️If you go to the other side of the bridge instead of Ebisubashi, the Glico sign will be smaller, but there will be fewer people around, so you can take a solo photo. ✔️If you take a boat that tours the Dotonbori River, you can see it up close. ✔️The light is on for a short time, so you have to check the time carefully. #OsakaTravel#GlicoSign

#I went to Osaka for a Japan trip! It would be unfair to go to Osaka and not see the Glico sign😆 I went to Dotonbori and saw all the Glico signs ㅎㅎ Dotonbori is a place full of flashy signs and can be said to be the identity of Osaka👍🏻 ☑️Location of the Glico sign: Around the middle of Dotonbori! ☑️A great tip for taking pictures with the Glico sign❤️ 1. There are fewer people if you go up the stairs instead of right in front! 2. Go up the bridge and take a picture Everyone, if you go to Osaka, Japan, you must!! Take a picture with the Glico sign📸

#JapanTravel 📍 Domonbori Glico Sign There are so many people taking pictures on the bridge where the Glico Sign is visible that it's hard to take a picture alone! There are two places I recommend! 1. Under the bridge across from the Glico Sign 2. Starting point of the bridge near the Glico Sign It was so easy to take a picture alone~

This is Dotonbori Street, a representative tourist attraction and bustling area in Osaka. As everyone knows, there is the Glico Sign, Osaka's old neon signboard, and there are also many other things to enjoy, such as Don Quijote and street food! You can also enjoy Osaka's representative food, takoyaki!

Osaka is beautiful during the day, but at night, when lights come on everywhere, it is twice as beautiful. Take a trip around Osaka following the lights embroidered on the streets. #Osaka #Dotonbori #Travel #JapanTravel

The place I was most looking forward to in Osaka was probably Dotonbori, which has the most Japanese atmosphere. 💫 I stayed near Dotonbori and saw it in the morning and evening, but I think it's only when it's dark that I can feel the unique Japanese sensibility because of the neon signs. 🙂 The colorful signs and gorgeous lights are really attractive!! 📍Osaka, Japan #OsakaTravel #Travel #TravelDestination #OverseasTravel #OverseasTravelDestination #GoodPlaceToTakePhotos

A must-see photo spot on your trip to Osaka‼️ #Dotonbori #Glico sign This was my first trip to Osaka. I finally got to see the Glico sign that I had only heard about😆 As expected of the symbol of Dotonbori, it was clearly visible from far away. People usually take pictures of the Glico sign at a spot on the bridge, but there are so many people there that it’s not easy to take pictures😂(Especially in the evening…🥲) So we got off the bridge and took pictures from a place where the Glico sign was directly in front of us. Please note that there weren’t many people here and the Glico sign came out well✨ 📍Dotonbori, Osaka ✔️ Free ride on the Dotonbori River Cruise with a Osaka Pass! ✔️ Personally, I think the Glico sign looks better during the day… ♡ #dotonbori #glico #glicosign #Osaka #OsakaTravel #OsakaTravelCourse #OsakaPlacesToVisit #osaka #osakatrip #japantrip #japan
