Center Plaza West; the Lair of Otaku, Sannomiya, Kobe City

The 2-3 floors of Center Plaza West are known as Otaku district. It started in '80s and shops are getting too many layers year by year. I sometimes went there to buy manga comics till '90s, but hesitate to enter the stores today. There are too many informations and goods which make me dizzy.

Many bookstores are disappearing by developping of online shop, but those comic stores catch custmer's hearts with premium goods.

 There are several miniature model shops there, too.

 Unfortunately, there is no maid café nor cospray resutaurant on these floors, but one café attached to comic store serve something special food or sweets with anime characters design, but I don't know well about it.

 You can satisfy your desire for collection or catch a glimpse of strange world there.
