Discover Osu, one of Nagoya’s most fascinating neighborhoods, where more than 400 years of history meet electronics, games, food, and pop culture.
Start at Osu Kannon and learn how the area developed around its temples and shopping streets. From there, walk through the lively arcades, where traditional shops, local food, and everyday life mix with the modern city.
Visit Banshoji, a historic temple that now sits among busy shopping streets and contemporary entertainment. It is one of the clearest examples of how old and new Japan coexist in Osu.
Continue into the electronics district and discover another layer of the neighborhood. Your local guide has been exploring Nagoya and Osu since the 1980s and visited the area for computers and electronics in the 1990s, giving you a personal perspective on how the district has changed.
Finally, explore today’s Osu, where electronics shops, games, trading cards, vintage stores, and pop culture have become part of the neighborhood’s constantly evolving character.
Rather than simply visiting individual sights, this walking tour connects the different layers of Osu and shows how temples, local streets, electronics, and pop culture came together in one place.
