Anyways, Den Den is great. Osaka has always been known as a trading hub so many places in Den Den have lots of used stuff, unlike Akihabara. They also have an entire building dedicated completely to everything Gundam… if you’re into that kinda stuff.

Notice the sign that says “No Pictures”. Whoops!

I don’t think any of you really like Gundam; we can forget about that store if you like. There are plenty of other places to go, like this place over here. They have tons of action figures: Dragon Quest, Super Mario, Gundam, Dragonball Z, and…… ummmmm….. well, look for yourself.

Sometimes I think that Japan is really, really fucked up.

If there are any of you who likes little figurines of Japanese girls stripping, then Den Den (and Japan) is the place to visit. Of course all of the shops aren’t like this shop, just some.

The range of normal shops goes from: hardware stores (?), light stores, a store full of watches, media stores (CDs, DVDs, Tapes, MDs, etc), game stores, and regular electronic stores.

You’ve probably guessed that I’m going to talk about some of these stores. There a couple of stores that are really great.

First, Super Potato. It’s a game store that sells a combination of used and new games. There are two levels. The ground floor is full of games of newer games (PS2, Cube, DS). Upstairs is nostalgialand; almost any game (or game system) that you can think of can be found is little places such as the second floor of Super Potato. However, it’s quite cramped and there are many times when you have to duck down really low. I don’t have any pictures of Super Potato right now, but I’ll get some.

Next, Wanpaku. It’s another game store. They deal mostly with new games, but they do have a small section of older games. Their prices are very competitive (they had the lowest price on a PS2) and they usually have the game you want in stock.

Our next sure is PC Ones. This is the place to go when you need a computer part. They have 3 floors of computer parts and some other things as well. At PC Ones is where I got my flash card to play English Nintendo DS games of questionable legality.

Finally, Sofmap. This is the Best Buy of Japan and they have 3 stores just in Den Den, one game store and two computer stores. Sofmap is also the benchmark for prices in the Den Den area. They might not have the best price, but they will never rip you off.

Being Japan, there are also many crazy things, like this.

Who is this crazy about Gundam?

Lastly, there’s also maid cafes in Den Den. What is a maid cafe? Well, it’s like a regular cafe, but there are waitresses and they dress like maids. Sometimes they hand out flyers in their maid costume. I WILL get a picture, it’s just a matter of when.
