Fanatical Fans Celebrate

Dotombori Bridge in Namba is a great place to hang out and people watch at any time, but by far and a way the best time to visit the bridge is after a major sporting event (notably the end of the baseball league season). At these times, fanatic supporters strip off naked and jump from the bridge into the filthy canal below.

A friend of mine jumped in after the 2002 World Cup and was ill for quite a while after - make sure you are up to date with your shots if you intend to join in!

Not to be missed!

Address: Near exit 14 of Namba Station on the Midosuji Line
