Dōtonbori
Japan
Dōtonbori anchors 20 connections with 731 other places across 11 topics, from baseball and kabuki to professional wrestling and film. The Osaka canal district, completed in 1615 and named by Matsudaira Tadaaki after the siege of Osaka, shares many threads with Osaka, Tokyo, and Hiroshima. Sports dominate the mix, including the Hanshin Tigers curse tied to the Ebisu Bridge, broken in 2023, and bouts staged by Dotonbori Pro Wrestling. Entertainment ties stretch to Kinji Fukasaku films and the Kuidaore Taro mascot.
