The apex of Osaka's frenetic nightlife, where neon coruscates off the Dotombori canal, is
Ebisu-bashi
, a dazzling area to wander around, if only to check out the wild youth fashion. If you've seen the movie
Black Rain
, you'll recognize the jet-black glass-and-steel
Kirin Plaza
beside the bridge, but there are much better bars around the area. Don't miss out on strolling through
Amerika-mura
, immediately west, a street crowded with trendy shops and bars. In contrast, the
Hozen-ji Yokocho
area, around the paper-lantern-festooned temple Hozen-ji, is old-time Osaka, a narrow alley of tiny watering holes. Check the listings magazine
Kansai Time Out
for the latest info on clubs, bars and one-off dance events. Other useful information
