Otaroad (オタロード) is Osaka’s version of Akiba. There you will find tones of toys, games, anime and manga related merchandise. There are lots of shops that sell great collection of otaku related goods and if you are into Japanese anime and manga, you are in for a treat.
Another great place to visit while in Osaka is Doguyasuji. It is famous for its shopping streets. We were roaming in the area and took some night time photos in the neighbourhood.
Dōtonbori is full of festivity even after sunset. When the sun goes down, the lights around Dōtonbori turn on and they give it a very different feeling than when it was during daytime.
After walking around Dōtonbori, for a few hours, it was time for dinner. We found another place for okonomiyaki.
During our visit in Osaka, we saw stores after stores of takoyaki (たこ焼き) stands. There are so many people who like takoyaki that there are always line ups for takoyaki. We wonder if there is a way we can open our own takoyaki stand as well.
If you are in the Dōtonbori area, you can also visit Hozen-ji. It is an interesting temple right in between Dōtonbori and Namba.
While we were in Tokyo, we spent some time with Mr. Danny Choo. It was nice to see him and his wife again. Both me and my wife have been following Danny’s blog for a number of years. I started reading Danny’s blog when he still had time to make Gunplas. I remember at that time I was looking for PG Strike photos online and was totally impressed by the quality of content Danny posted on his blog. It was great to have met him for the second time in the past few years and hope many more to come. Here are a selected few photos to share with you.
Always wondered about Kani Douraku (かに道楽) as seen on a lot of travel advertisements and TV programs of Osaka. So here we are seeing one gigantic crab on the wall of the Kani Douraku restaurant!
