This is one of the most famous shopping streets in Osaka, with more than 150 stores along an arcade that stretches 1 km east to west along Sakaisuji Street. It has long been developed as an electronics town, but today it is home to stores selling a variety of otaku items such as manga, anime, games, figures, and treasures. “Nippombashi Street Festa”, a cosplay event held every May, is one of the largest cosplay festivals in Japan.
