Otome Road, located to the west of the Sunshine 60 Dori, is a street with many anime-related shops. What is different here as compared to other areas where you can enjoy anime culture is that all the shops here sell products aimed at women. Let's go find some rare items and comic books.
Here is the building that stands out on Otome Road
Animate Sunshine, where you find an array of anime-related shops from the first to the eighth floors, can be referred to as an icon of Otome Road. You can get costumes and wigs for cosplay at ACOS, and you can enjoy anime-related menus at Animate Cafe. This is where anime and cosplay lovers gather.
