Nihonbashi is the area around Nippombashi Station, where the Sakaisuji and Sennichimae lines cross; along Sakaisuji lies the Nipponbashi Den Den Town electronics district.
Nippombashi Station (K17) on the Sakaisuji Line connects to the Sennichimae Line (S17) and Kintetsu, with Nagahoribashi (K16) and Ebisucho (K18) as its neighbours. The tourism bureau says Den Den Town is right outside exits North A and 1B of Ebisucho Station.
Naniwa Ward describes Den Den Town as a district of electrical specialty shops spanning Nipponbashi, and the tourism bureau presents it as an electronics town set in the arcades along Sakaisuji.
The Nihonbashi page will start showing venues as soon as any are added. For now the listings are on the Osaka City page, and besides Namba/Shinsaibashi, they appear under Hommachi, Umeda, Fukushima and Juso.
The city ordinance focuses its anti-touting effort on priority districts and turns the most crowded roads into prohibited zones. In those zones touting is not permitted in principle for any kind of business, and a non-criminal fine of up to 50,000 yen is set for anyone who disobeys an order.
Nihonbashi is generally fine for a night out. The main risk is bottakuri, a padded bill at the end. Stick to venues that post their prices, skip street touts steering you into ‘free’ bars, and confirm the set fee plus any nomination or bottle charges before you order.
Payment methods vary by venue. Check the listing and confirm with the venue before booking.
