Den Den Town, Electronics and anime district in Nipponbashi, Japan.
Den Den Town spans multiple streets in southern Osaka, featuring stores selling electronics, computers, cameras, video games, and anime merchandise.
The district transformed from a regular commercial area into a specialized electronics hub during the 1980s, following the pattern of Tokyo's Akihabara.
Two parallel shopping streets, Nipponbashisuji and Ota Road, form the center of Japanese pop culture retail with manga stores and collectible shops.
Shops typically operate from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM daily, with direct access from Nipponbashi Station's Exit 5 leading to the main retail area.
The annual Nipponbashi Street Festa brings together numerous cosplayers who parade through the streets displaying their character interpretations.

Osaka is Japan of contrasts. A city where 6th-century temples stand beside futuristic skyscrapers, where fish markets meet giant Dotonbori signs, and where the nights turn streets into a continuous show. More lively and spontaneous than Tokyo, Osaka maintains its accent, humor, and warmth. People come here to eat, stroll, and listen to the hum of a metropolis that never truly sleeps. Between medieval castles, Shinto shrines, avant-garde museums, and multi-level hot spring baths, the city presents both ancient and ultra-modern faces. Exploring Namba, Shinsekai, or Umeda reveals a unique energy, vibrant urban culture, and an attention to detail that makes Japan unforgettable.
