Osu Shopping Street
Osu Shopping Street is a dense, covered network of arcades mixing electronics and anime/manga shops (a smaller-scale echo of Tokyo's Akihabara), secondhand clothing stores, traditional crafts, and street food, making it one of Nagoya's most eclectic shopping areas. It has a scrappier, more youth-oriented feel than the city's more polished shopping districts elsewhere.
It centers on Osu Kannon temple, so the two are naturally combined, and the area is worth a visit whether or not shopping is the priority, simply for its atmosphere and food stalls.
