Osaka was known as the "nation's kitchen" during the feudal era and is also the birthplace of conveyor belt sushi. If you’re a fan of conveyor belt sushi, you definitely shouldn’t miss the October-exclusive Giant Sushi Drift Project. The famous Dotonbori River will serve as the conveyor belt, delivering huge plates of conveyor belt sushi to visitors — an amusing and highly talk-worthy event that’s highly anticipated.

This giant sushi drift project is a limited-time exhibition created by Osaka Canvas in Japan. Using the river as a display stage and combining Osaka’s historical connection with conveyor belt sushi, it becomes an eye-catching and fun art exhibition. The creators used special materials to meticulously craft these giant sushi pieces, featuring realistic-looking salmon nigiri, tamagoyaki sushi, cucumber sushi rolls, and various other types of sushi drifting down the Dotonbori River like little boats. This amusing sight can only be seen on October 3, 4, and 17 — visitors in Osaka during this period should seize the opportunity to check out this fun exhibition.
