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.
Had a lot of cool merch, plenty of anime/manga stores and lots to do in the area but it’s become a bit of a tourist trap with a lot of foreigners coming to shop so they’ve gouged the price a bit in recent years compared to when I went in 2019 but so did the rest of the country so :’) can’t blame em. Only downside is that since there’re so many tourists, the area has become pretty… questionably smelly 😃 Just beware of the stink when coming inside shops and bring a mask/vapor perfume inhaler of choice lol
I personally think it was overrated because its just a shopping district and its very overcrowded. Maids are scattered in this street attracting customers. I personally think the hidden gems are hidden in this small alleyway inside of Nipponbashi denden town.
Nipponbashi is famed for its electronics stores, maid cafes, anime and manga shops, and game centers. Den Den Town, the area's electronics quarter, is a major draw for those looking for gadgets and tech-related items.
Yes, Nipponbashi offers a range of dining options, from traditional Japanese cuisine to themed cafes and fast food. The area is especially known for its selection of otaku-themed eateries.
While Nipponbashi can be visited year-round, the experience can vary depending on the season. The Nipponbashi Street Festa, usually held in March, is a particularly vibrant time to visit.
Major stores and restaurants typically accept credit cards, but smaller shops and stalls may only take cash. It's advisable to have some Japanese yen on hand.
While Nipponbashi is more known for its day-time attractions, there are still options for entertainment at night, including bars, arcades, and late-night eateries.
