Directions

Osaka's answer to Tokyo's Akihabara is a dense cluster of electronics shops, anime merchandise stores, retro game dealers, and figure collectors spread across several blocks. The secondhand electronics and vintage game stalls offer genuinely good value and the density of specialist shops is unmatched in western Japan. It has become more anime-focused over the years and some of the electronics shops have closed, but the core market energy remains strong.
