How to Reach Dragon Star Nipponbashi 2 from Namba Station

Osaka's Nipponbashi, not Tokyo's Nihonbashi

Osaka and Tokyo both have a district written 日本橋. In Osaka it is read "Nipponbashi"; in Tokyo it is "Nihonbashi". The shop name ドラゴンスター日本橋2号店 refers to the Osaka one, and its address is in Naniwa-ku, Osaka. If a map or train app suggests a route to Tokyo, you have picked the wrong 日本橋. Searching for the address in Japanese, 大阪市浪速区難波中2丁目1-17, avoids the mix-up, and the map buttons on this page already use it.

Getting there from Nankai Namba Station

The shop page gives one line of directions: Nankai Namba Station, Exit E7, a 5-minute walk. It shows a map, but it has no step-by-step route and no route photos, so the walking directions button above is the most practical way to cover the last stretch.

• Leave Nankai Namba Station by Exit E7, the exit the shop page names.
• Follow the walking directions to 2-1-17 Nambanaka.
• Look for the Cosmo Building (コスモビル) and go up to the 6th floor.

The shop page does not say whether the building has an elevator or where the entrance is. It also names only the Nankai line, so if you arrive on another line at Namba, use the walking directions from where you are rather than looking for Exit E7.

Opening hours

The hours in the table above differ by day. On weekdays the shop opens at 12:00, two hours later than on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, so a weekday morning visit will find it closed. No closed days are listed. The page also says staff cannot answer enquiries about incoming stock or buying prices, so a phone call will not tell you whether a card is in stock.

What the shop page shows

The page does not list which games the shop stocks. Its event calendar, checked on November 2, 2026, listed events for Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG, Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel, the Pokémon Trading Card Game, the One Piece Card Game, Dragon Ball Super Card Game Fusion World, the Digimon Card Game, Battle Spirits, Union Arena, Cardfight!! Vanguard, the Gundam Card Game, Duel Masters and the hololive OFFICIAL CARD GAME. Under payment methods, the page lists cash in text and shows logos that include Visa, Mastercard, JCB, American Express, PayPay, Apple Pay and transit IC cards such as ICOCA and Suica. Ask at the counter if you plan to pay a particular way.

If you are new to Japanese Yu-Gi-Oh! cards, how the Japanese OCG differs from the TCG explains what you are buying, and our Rush Duel guide covers the separate Rush Duel format. For Pokémon, how to read a Japanese Pokémon card explains the set mark and collection number.

What the official page does not say

The shop page does not state whether tax-free shopping is offered or whether staff speak English. We have left both as not confirmed, along with the elevator, the entrance and closed days mentioned above.

Before you fly home

Single cards bend easily in a bag. Our sleeve size guide covers which sleeves fit Japanese cards, and the Yu-Gi-Oh! sleeve guide covers the smaller Yu-Gi-Oh! card size.
