Glico has always been the most obvious target in Shinsaibashi, and it is also a must-see spot for tourists. (The four buildings behind the runners on the signboard are Osaka Castle, Kaiyukan, Osaka Dome, and Tsutenkaku)

On the first day, foreman Ken led us to let the wind blow out here in Shinsaibashi. It was close to night and the lights were on, and we began to feel the lively atmosphere of Osaka.There are many signs here, many of them are made of neon lights, whether it is snow print, Kirin beer, etc., they are all sparkling.

On the road, Shinsaibashi is a city of the future, full of signs, lights, movies, and music. Of course, like our Ximending, there are all kinds of men and women, dressed in fashion.A friend said that the people here are quite enthusiastic, not as indifferent as the people in Tokyo. I don’t feel much about it, because there is still a language barrier. The young staff here cannot communicate in fluent English. Of course, for those who don’t For those of us who have studied Japanese, we can only use hand gestures. Fortunately, Chinese characters can be used. (^^b)

The rivers here are well renovated, and the buildings in Yanpai are very beautiful. The shooting location is near Yilan Ramen. Those who are interested can go to shoot.Another long line of Ramen Ramen, we did not have the patience to wait like this, but the friends in the same group went to eat, but the stomach was upset the next day, not sure whether it was the problem of Ichiran Ramen, or the water and soil, this guy is still fighting on his own. I traveled to Cambodia, but I was uncomfortable in modern Japan for several days.

I was in the mood to go shopping on a large scale, and after seeing the prices of the goods in the store, I left in a hurry. I can't help but miss Bangkok's low consumption.

The Esaki Glico Signage has been set up on the bank of the Doton Gigori Bridge in Osaka since 1935. Before 2014, it has been through five generations. The fifth generation is a shiny version. The background includes Osaka Castle, Kaiyukan, and Kaiyukan from left to right. The four well-known buildings, Osaka Dome and Tsutenkaku, are quite Osaka-style. Considering the old signs, Ezaki Glico Co., Ltd. has turned off the lights on August 2014, 8, and the fifth-generation runners have officially rested!

The first generation of Glico has a tower shape, the second generation is a cannonball shape, and the third generation is a round shape. The fourth and fifth generations are the shapes that everyone knows today, but the fifth generation background plus four index buildings. At present, we are pre-booking to dress up for the new sixth-generation running man in the fall of 2014. If you have the opportunity, remember to go and enjoy the latest version of the running man!

For those who are interested in running men in the past, you can refer to the official website of Ezaki Glico Co., Ltd.:
