used films in Kansai

[Peter Larson]

I don't know if it's still there but there used to be
a great, cheap used video store in Juso in Osaka.
Basically, you get out of the Juso station and walk
all the way down the shotengai that's directly in
front of you until it ends and there a video store on
the left side. I can't remember what it's called but
it had been there for a long while.

Den-den town has many shops, but I found them to
fairly pricy and often picked through. My best finds
were at Tsutaya, with the Tennoji Tsutaya being to
most consitently good. They often sell off extra
copies of things when they lose popularity at bargain
prices, just as video stores do here.
