Den Den Town

日本橋でんでんタウン

Nipponbashi, Osaka · 大阪

The Nipponbashi electronics and hobby district: figure shops, model kits, retro games, doujinshi and cosplay, spread along Sakaisuji and the lanes off it.

Why it’s worth it

Smaller and considerably calmer than Akihabara, with better prices on secondhand figures. The Ota Road side street is where the specialist shops are.
