Thanks for the video. I'll visit Osaka in 2 weeks. It looks like Denden Town hasn't changed since my last short visit in 2019. I used to visit Nipponbashi and the side street (now ota-road) many times in 1999 and 2001 when I used to live in Japan. The shops and general atmosphere quite different back then. They still sold laserdiscs and there weren't maid cafés yet, or they were hidden and still kind of underground compared to nowadays. One of my favourite shops was the A-too which had many used anime soundtracks. It still exists but is now part of the Surugaya chain. It's the one store you briefly show on the Nipponbashi main road.

Guide misses a few shops but you'll be able to see them when you go there yourself. The shop directly across from Animate for example. There's also one to the further left from Volks Showroom on the other side of the street (just be aware that the escalator directly takes you to the R-18 section of the shop that's the same floor as used figurines with boxes 😅).

What a great video! So helpful when you started from the train station. Very helpful for people like me! By the way, I hope you could help me , we’d be arriving in Osaka in early April, and need to go Pokémon and trading cards shopping. My oldest son wants a Hachinage headband with a metal in the center like Naruto’s. Could you help me where to find these things in Osaka. I would be staying near the Shin Osaka Station. Thanks a million in advance for your attention and assistance!

Hello! Thank you very much! There's Torejaras on Ota Road (that might be shown in the video! Which has Pokemon cards on the first floor - they also have a box where you can buy non-rare cards from 10yen each! There's a lot of Pokemon card stores soy yo might see them everywhere. If you're not in "Nipponbashi" but central Shinsaibashi instead, BOOK OFF PLUS has a lot of Pokemon cards too. I haven't seen a Naruto headband before because I don't look in cosplay stores, but I recommend GUF which has a purple sign in Nipponbashi. They sell lots of clothes and things targetted to more anime and games that foreigners like. Thank you again for watching! I hope you have a great trip!

Hello! I haven't, but probably only because I haven't been looking for them..! Hmmm..! I'd recommend going to SUPER POTATO RETROKAN OTA ROAD - maps.app.goo.gl/1qcT2BcDGJ8vApgA9 They have a lot of retro game consoles, and might have old Tamagotchis! (Or are you looking for merch of Tamagotchi, not the actual devices..?) Good luck and have fun!!

@@Kiwi_In_Japan Taiwan actually has a ton of anime shops, and Japanese chain stores so it's pretty easy to find new anime products here. I think there's a wider variety of older/used stuff in Japan though - although you can find some of that here, too. I have a question though - do you usually ask for permission to film in shops? In Taiwan they are usually cool with it, but sometimes when I ask, they seem to think I am about to try to film a movie and get nervous, haha!~

Kia ora! A true Kiwi! As Naruto is an ended series there's less of it, but you can still find many things scattered around of it! Basically every shop should have some boxed figures of Naruto! Many keyrings, clearfiles, badges and other merch items are less common. But basically every shop in these videos should have something; Torejaras, Surugaya, K-Books in Osaka! I also recommend the Volks Showroom for cool displays.

I film on my phone, so it's easy to take it out and start filming! Generally photos are okay but videos aren't 😬 But only twice have I been told not to take a video by staff - once at ANIMATE and once at the Volks Showroom (the figures in glass boxes place) I've been coming to all these stores for years, so only twice being asked not to film is very very good.

@Kiwi_In_Japan
Жыл бұрын
I recommend Surugaya! It seems in Nipponbashi there are multiple Surugaya stores! They have different levels of discounts at the different shops, bigger and cheaper "dig through the random pile" stores and then more curated "look at this Chainsaw Man section" stores where it's a bit more expensive. But Animate is WAY more expensive, I don't recommend there for second hand.
