Time Out says

Located along the Higashi-Yokobori River right next to Osaka’s oldest bridge, this facility is the starting point for a variety of water sports and activities, including stand-up paddleboarding and river cruises. The Hanshin Expressway runs above the river, so dropping by is an option on rainy days too, though note that most of the activities are offered only on weekends and holidays.

If you’re not into water sports, borrow a board game and enjoy a relaxed afternoon by the river. At β Kiosk you can pick up a cup of coffee, eat lunch and shop for local sweets and fresh vegetables. β Hommachibashi doubles as a tourist information centre, and the facility can also be booked for meetings, seminars and events. Check the website for a list of upcoming events.

Dotonbori River Winter Kotatsu Boat Tour

If you’re looking for a new way to experience Osaka, the Japan City SUP Association is bringing back its annual winter boat tour along the Dotonbori River. Take in the iconic sights of the area’s famed giant billboards, quirky signs and neon lights from the water while staying warm under a kotatsu (a heated low table complete with a blanket to keep your lower body warm). Running on weekends and public holidays until March 31, each of the private 60-minute tours can be reserved by a group of up to four people. Life jackets are provided, and you may bring your own drinks and snacks to enjoy on board. The tour costs ¥5,500 for adults and ¥3,850 for children under 12. Tickets are available online, with an early-bird discount for reservations made at least 14 days in advance.
