Nipponbashi Street Festival

Japan's largest cosplay festival

The main venues are Nipponbashi Denden Town (Nipponbashi Sakaisuji Shopping Street) and Ota Road, where anime shops and maid cafes are concentrated. On the day of the event, Sakaisuji Street becomes a pedestrian zone and is filled with cosplayers and participants. The excitement is on par with that of Comiket!

Recently, cosplayers have been gathering not only from Kansai but also from Kanto and overseas, and you can see a wide variety of cosplay, from popular characters to nostalgic characters and even maniacal ones. The high quality of the cosplay is one thing to look forward to, but another attraction of the Street Festa is that you can see a lot of "interesting" cosplay that is unique to Osaka.

The Street Festa's Cosplay Parade is a highlight event, with Nipponbashi maids and hundreds of cosplayers parading down Sakaisuji Street. The parade of hundreds of cosplayers is truly a spectacular sight. It's fun just to watch the cosplayers parade while performing their own unique performances.

There are also various other events being held on the main stage and along the road. Even if you're not an anime fan, you can enjoy the Nipponbashi Street Festa. Come experience the extraordinary fun of Nipponbashi, the cutting-edge hobby town.
