Nipponbashi: A Paradise for Anime and Gaming Fans!

Japan's Nipponbashi is truly a treasure trove for anime and gaming enthusiasts! The prices are so low, it feels like you're picking up bargains. During my trip to Osaka, I headed straight to "Furuichi TCG Park," where they have everything from Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh! to Jujutsu Kaisen and Blue Lock. The sheer variety of IPs is overwhelming, making it hard to leave! The best part? The prices are unbeatable—second-hand trading cards start at just 1.5 RMB per card, and even brand-new shiny cards are half the price compared to domestic markets. Collectors will go crazy! Switch game cartridges are even cheaper 🥬. The latest titles like Pokémon and Zelda are readily available, with most second-hand cartridges still sealed and brand-new. Splatoon is shockingly priced at just 50 RMB! Even the consoles are incredibly tempting—Switch OLED models are priced under 1700 RMB, and they have all the accessories you could need. Second-hand options offer even better value for money. Beyond cards and games, the store is packed with second-hand figurines and exclusive merchandise, including rare hidden gems you can't find domestically! I spent two hours browsing and ended up diving into blind boxes—I just couldn't stop 😭. If you haven't been yet, anime and gaming fans, hurry up and check it out. This is a deal you don't want to miss!
