The first place I wanted to check out in Osaka was Dotonbori. On the Ebisubashi bridge I found a guy hanging out with a dog and some kind of a lizard. I asked him, "Is that a crocodile?" and he said, "It's a monitor lizard from Indonesia", and confirmed that he was "taking it for a walk". Inevitably I asked if he minded me taking a picture and he consented, here's what I got. About a week later I saw him again at Ebisubashi, without the dog and lizard, so I guess he may be a local.
