Other Stores
Due to a lack of time, I could not visit all of the card stores in Osu. Most of the stores that carry Yu-Gi-Oh! are already listed above, but there are a couple more stores that specialize in Magic: The Gathering or Pokemon TCG which were skipped. They could be worth a visit if those are the card games of your interest.

I lived and worked in Nagoya for a while, so this was a nice bit of nostalgia to see posted here! If you’re already in Osu, take the meijo line south one more stop to Higashi-Betsuin and you can find a local store called “Card Brunch” right down the road. They frequently had older sets on mark down if you like opening boxes.
Wow. I knew there were a few more card stores further up north-west at Nagoya Station such as Satellite Shop Nagoya (@stllt_ngy), but wouldn’t have thought there were still more card stores south of Osu. Thank you for sharing.
