Den Den Electric Town

Den Den Electric Town is Osaka’s answer to Akihabara.  Huge electronic shops selling anything you can imagine, maid cafes, game arcades and lots of other exciting 21st century attractions.

Budget travel tips

  • The game arcade machines are often only 100 yen, so probably much cheaper than you would pay at home. Enjoy!
  • Use the map below for the main area, but there are many cool streets of interest along the way.
