The Ebisubashi bridge is just under the Glico Man billboard. Originally constructed to provide access to the nearby Ebisu Shrine, the bridge is the location of a legendary curse on Osaka's baseball team. It also provides a link between the Shinsaibashi and Dōtonbori shopping districts. Due to the canal being a major part of Dōtonbori, the Ebisubashi bridge is also a hot spot for the boat taxi service pick-up and drop-offs as well as the river cruises. The riverside boardwalk makes for a nice ambiance while shopping or just being out and about. At the south end of the bridge, there is said to be a small puppet theatre. Taking the bridge north, will lead one to the Osaka Castle. Don't forget to check out the beloved Kani-Doraku restaurant complete with mechanical moving crab on top, and of course the Dōtonbori arcade!
