A side alley running south of Dotonbori, marked by two stone-paved paths. A popular spot for worshipers at "Mizukake Fudo-son (Hosenji Temple)," where they pour water with a wish in mind. The Fudo-san statue, covered in moss, creates a unique atmosphere. With long-established Japanese restaurants, bars, and shops connected to kamigata rakugo (traditional comic storytelling), it's a perfect spot for an evening stroll for adults.
