  Dotonbori - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dotonbori (道頓堀) is one of the most famous landmarks of Osaka, Japan.
Dotonbori traces its history back to 1612, when entrepreneur Doton Yasui was busy expanding the tiny East/West running Umezu River, hoping to increase commerce in the region by connecting the two branches of the North/South running Yohori River with a canal.
The character of Dotonbori became defined in 1621 when the newly minted Tokugawa Shogunate instituted urban planning, designating Dotonbori as the theater and entertainment district of Osaka.
