Nihonbashi-suji Shopping Street, located near Namba, is one of Osaka's oldest shopping streets, with specialty shops lining Sakaisuji Street. From mass-market electronics retailers to audio equipment, electronic parts, PCs, and models, this area is packed with the joy of searching. Its hospitable atmosphere welcomes everyone from enthusiasts looking for bargains, second-hand goods, and junk items to first-time tourists. Walking the streets, you'll find yourself snapping photos of the colorful signs, lively shoppers, and unique downtown atmosphere.

The backstreets on the west side, nicknamed "Ota Road," are packed with subculture shops selling anime goods, figurines, doujinshi, trading cards, maid cafes, and more. As one of Japan's three major electronics districts, alongside Akihabara and Osu in Nagoya, Nihonbashi is a staple spot for international fans of Osaka sightseeing. Each shop stands out with its own unique character, and you can find limited edition and regionally-inspired merchandise, all unique to Nihonbashi.

In spring, the Nihonbashi Street Festa, one of the largest cosplay events in Japan, is held throughout the shopping district, turning the entire town into a pop culture festival.
