Osaka in One Day: Nintendo, Pokémon and Den Den Town

The only Nintendo official store outside Tokyo, on one floor with a Pokémon Center — then the western Akihabara.

Pokémon Nintendo BEYBLADE X Gundam

Osaka concentrates its official stores in one building. Daimaru Umeda holds Nintendo OSAKA and Pokémon Center Osaka DX on the same floor, which makes the morning extremely efficient, and Yodobashi Umeda is a few minutes away for current toys and Gunpla. The afternoon moves south to Nipponbashi, where Den Den Town runs the second-hand, retro and card shops along one walkable street. This route deliberately leaves out Universal Studios — Super Nintendo World needs most of a day to itself.
