One of the highlights of my trip to Japan two years ago was a visit to Osaka. It was the first time I've been in the city since the 2004 G-TOUR.
And, one place visited for the first time was the Dotonbori shopping and dining district. Osaka is now planning to expand on its appear to foreign visitors.
According to the Asahi Shimbun:
OSAKA--In hopes of turning the Dotonbori commercial district here into a sightseeing spot of world renown, a travel agency has teamed with a local association of shops to promote the district to attract more tourists from within Japan and abroad.
JTB Western Japan Corp. on Oct. 26 signed an agreement with the Dotonbori Store Association saying that both parties will work together to expand the lineup of available nightly entertainment options.
The JTB group is also hoping to tap into the potential for consumption by a growing number of visitors to Japan.
