Don Quijote Dotonbori Store
A mega-discount store complete with Ferris wheel, river cruise boarding area, and tourist information hub.
Known for its late-night hours, quirky shelf displays, and handwritten promotional signs, Don Quijote is a beloved all-in-one discount store. The Dotonbori branch is especially eye-catching thanks to its iconic yellow Ferris wheel attached to the building’s façade—now a well-known landmark along the Dotonbori River in Osaka’s Minami district.
The floorplan spans six floors, each dedicated to different product categories including daily goods, electronics, food, and general merchandise—all offered at bargain prices. With goods stacked high to the ceiling, shopping here feels more like navigating an amusement park than a typical retail store. Open 24 hours a day, year-round, it’s perfect for picking up anything you might need during your stay, and tax-free shopping is available for international visitors.
The first floor is the go-to spot for support at the multilingual tourist information center and the boarding area for the popular "Tombori River Cruise"—making this store a must-visit destination for travelers exploring Osaka’s lively Minami area.
