Where you can't hear your own thoughts

There is a place in Osaka that has existed for several hundred years, where theaters, bars, shops and entertainment venues crowd together on the banks of the Dotonbori River. You can still find woodcuts depicting Kabuki audiences who went out to eat after the performance in an endless number of bars with windows overlooking the water.

Almost two hundred years have passed since the Edo period, and in Dotonbori everything is the same as before: the theater (only one left), bars, shops, entertainment venues. The noise is so loud that you can't hear your own thoughts. But what big signs, what advertisements!

Anyway, see for yourself short film snapshots from there. As always, you can watch them by clicking on the link leading to the film on my YouTube channel.

And below is a photo of the entrance to one of the bars by the river :)

Looks delicious?
