Osu Shopping Street

A sprawling covered arcade packed with over 1,200 shops spanning fashion, electronics, vintage goods, cosplay, and street food. Often compared to Tokyo's Akihabara for its otaku culture, Osu has a uniquely Nagoya vibe — retro game shops sit next to Brazilian grocery stores and Vietnamese restaurants, reflecting the area's multicultural character. Monthly antique markets and cosplay events add to the energy. Try the local street food favorites: Taiwan mazesoba and crispy tebasaki wings.
