Akihabara vs. Nipponbashi
Akihabara, Tokyo and Nipponbashi, Osaka are two major OTAKAKU town in Japan.
These are originally and still electrical towns. However recently these became the summit of Otaku goods. Instead of E goods such as PC and TV, the items such as toy, figure, anime DVD / book, Doujinshi got more attention from its visitors. Akihabara is bigger than Nipponbashi. But price in Nipponbashi seems more attractive as people in Osaka are more demanding on low price. You can enjoy talking with shop owners for discount in Nipponbashi in Osaka.
東京の秋葉原、大阪の日本橋は日本の代表的な電脳タウンです。
今ではパソコンや液晶TVを押しのけて、オタクグッズの聖地となっています。
おもちゃ、アニメDVD、コミック、同人誌が幅をきかせています。
