the largest electronics and otaku town at Osaka
Akihabara to the east and Nihonbashi Denden Town to the west.
It is one of Osaka's leading shopping streets, with more than 150 stores along the arcade that stretches approximately 1km east and west along Sakaisuji.
A small town originally lined with shops selling used clothing and books.
It became an electronics store district, and within a few decades it had grown into one of Osaka's most representative downtown areas.
Nihonbashi Denden Town, also known as “Denden Town,” has long been developed as an electronics town, but now it is home to a concentration of stores that sell various otaku items such as manga, anime, games, figures, trading cards, etc. It forms the largest electronic town and otaku town in western Japan.
Furthermore, the Nihonbashi Street Festa, which has been held mainly in Nihonbashi Denden Town since 2005, has gained fame as one of the largest cosplay events in Japan, attracting more than 10,000 cosplayers from all over the country, and is popular not only in Japan but also overseas. It is also widely disseminated.
In addition, reflecting the recent demand for people staying at home, many people come in search of manufacturing items such as plastic models and electronic work, as well as high-end products such as audio and home theaters, and it is developing as a ``cutting-edge hobby town''.
The biggest attraction of Nihonbashi Denden Town is its high level of professionalism.
You can experience the fun and joy of shopping in a real shopping district that you cannot experience online.
