道頓堀是大阪著名的购物、娱乐区与旅游景点，繁华如上海南京路。各大著名连锁商店和餐馆云集，而且日本味十足。在其附近也有不少风化区，满足生理需求。
Dōtonbori (道頓堀, pronounced [doːtomboɽi]) is one of the principal tourist destinations in Osaka, Japan. It is a single street, running alongside the Dōtonbori canal between the Dōtonboribashi Bridge and the Nipponbashi Bridge in the Namba ward of Osaka. A former pleasure district, Dōtonbori is famous for its historic theatres (all gone now), its shops and restaurants, and its many neon and mechanised signs, including snack/candy manufacturer Glico’s giant electronic display of a runner crossing the finish line.
道頓堀的一大特色是有条运河穿街而过。河边的唐吉诃德廉价商品店是当地一大地标。尽管现在店门口的摩天轮已经停止运行，但门外的河边恰是游船的码头，游客络绎不绝。
H&M生意好得不得了，但还是派人在路口举广告牌。
