So many people posing as running man. Amazing to see them eager to take photo with Glico man. Hoping one day we could see Glico man cosplayer running around this area. That would be great! Imagine everyone will be chasing him to take photos.

Superb! Recommend going with a friend so he/she can take a photo of you. It's super crowded but worth it. Also recommend going at night as the Glico sign lights up. Look up the history when you go so you know why this is a hit!

we need to take photo with this glico man running behind us to legalize that we have landed safely in osaka😆. it is nicer to take photo in the evening when most lights are up. the place is crowded and we actually have fun here. got many kinds of food here, or stores for those that love shopping, or just to hang out and take night breeze. love it ❤️

This place is actually a big market with lots of shopping areas, restaurants and streetfoods. It looks like a chinatown or Hongkonv night market. And so, we had a hard time searching this glico sign which ive never thought that its not too big like what im seeing in some videos and photos online hahha. It was nice cause there are areas or spots intended for the tourist to capture some photos in it.

Lol. This is the place and ad sign you have to take photo or video as a proof on you have been or landed to Osaka. If no running man pics or vids profile. Nope ,you have not been to Osaka. Yes, this place can be extremely crowded. Yes, there is lots of foods and drinks for you to purchase and enjoy. Yes, it is a must visit place. Yes, open your wallet and start spending sprees. Yes, you will love this place. And yes yes yes. You get what i mean.
