Hotels near Glico Man Sign
None of the numerous neon billboards which light up the bustling Osaka neighbourhood of Dotombori have shone longer than the famous Glico Man Sign. The Glico Man and his victory pose have stood 33m above the Ebusu-bashi bridge since 1935. The candy company which first erected the Glico Man Sign, Ezaki Glico, is best known for its Pocky pretzel sticks and namesake caramel candy.
The default pose of the Glico Man Sign is the Glico Man running across a finish line on a blue race track, but the sign is often revised during other major sporting events or victories such as the World Cup or Hanshin Tigers baseball games. The Ebusu-bashi bridge beneath the Glico Man Sign connects two popular Osaka shopping districts, Shinsaibashi-suji and Ebisubashi-suji, and is said to stand on the same place where a curse was placed on the Tigers.
