At a Glance
Renovation notice: the current Glico Man sign is scheduled to finish at the end of November 2026. Work begins in December 2026, with a seventh-generation sign planned for spring 2027. Glico has not announced an exact unveiling date. Check the official announcement before planning a photo stop during the works.
The Dōtonbori Glico Sign is the giant runner billboard beside Ebisu Bridge in Osaka. Its raised-arm pose has been a landmark here since the first sign appeared in 1935. The current sixth-generation version was installed in October 2014 and uses LED lighting. This is an outdoor photo stop beside the canal, easily combined with a walk through Dōtonbori. The renewal concerns the sign; it is not an announcement that the surrounding district is closing.
