Japan's main island is fairly long, and Akihabara is too far for those in Western Japan. So, Osaka has its own anime and gadget district, called Den Den Town.
Wrapping up my trip the Kansai region was a trip to Osaka's anime and electronic district, known as Den Den Town. Like Akihabara in Tokyo, Den Den Town is an area to get away from work/school for a bit and immerse yourself in the anime culture.
