What other travelers are saying about Nipponbashi Denden Town
This place is a paradise for geeks, filled with plenty of anime and manga merchandise, as well as a variety of other items. You’re sure to find what you’re looking for.
I was searching for Gundam cards and was not disappointed at all. The staff in the shops were incredibly accommodating.
If you're on the hunt for something specific, this is definitely the place to check out.
While you're there, you can also enjoy playing some games and trying your luck at claw machines.
Gadgets galore, easily walkable, lots of multistorey shops chock full of anime books, toys, accessories etc, plus electronic stores (PCs, laptops, monitors etc), and collectibles and retro original games like SNES, Gameboy at places like Super Potato and Pokemon cards
Staff are friendly and accommodating. Breakfast is very expensive there. There is a family mart but in the time we were there their stock was never replenished, it was bare min. This hotel has great services like laundry and a gym, but it is not near anything. If you are traveling without a car Okinawa you’ll find it expensive to get anywhere.
My favourite place during my first stay in Osaka. A lot of anime goods including gachapon, crane game figure, model, cards game and etc you can find all you want here but you need to walk every store to check the price before purchasing decision. This place also easy access via both Namba side and Shinsaibashi side.
Great street to shop for anime and game related merchandise. There are many stores (e.g. Kotobukiya, Animate, K books) which offer various options ranging from shirts to figurines.
One can almost definitely find merchandise related to their favourite series here.
