This website has maps to get to Denden town.

This is the place which has many electronic shops and stores selling animation things and comic books. People who have an interest in this kind of things visit this place. Since here has many shops for so called "Otaku", we can see many people coming here to buy what they are interested in. This place is like "Akihabara" which is in Tokyo. It also has many shops specialized in Otaku-related stuff.

One time, I came here to meet some friend and this place seemed very interesting because I have not seen this many anime-related stores. At that time, the first thing I could recognize in this street was this building. This building is known for a simbol of Denden-town. It's Gundam shop. Gundam is one of the old character of Manga. On the 1st floor and 2nd floor, they selll some Gumdam toys.

This store is also one of the famous places for anime things. For me, I do not watch anime often besides amime which Chibli studio made. I didn't know many of the characters. But, I saw many people buying anime stuff here.

Also, here has many stuff of Comic books. They even have many Dojinshi Comic books which is self-publishing comic books.  

 This shop sell some anime-related toys.

Also here were many shops for costumes which could make people look like a character from anime. Even through the game machine, people could get costumes. Sadly, I could not get to see someone playing this game machine. And, one interesting thing was that outside of the buildings and each shops, people who dressed up like acharacters promoted their shops giving out bills to people. I could not take pictures of them. It is easy to see them on this street. It was quite interesting that I saw many guys around here but I could not see as many women as guys were.  

It would have been more interesting, if I had known more about anime and comic books. Many stores here represent that here are many people who who are intrested in this anime things which is very Japanese and they are contributed to all these shops existing.

Besides, here are some interesting cafes such as maid cafes and costume play cafes.
