Osaka
Osaka is located close to the former capitals of Kyoto and Nara. Osaka prospers as an important point for land and water transportation, and is a vibrant and dynamic commercial city as well. In recent years, thanks to the opening of Kansai International Airport, Osaka has become one of the most popular spots for international meetings. Osaka Castle, with a five-layer tower as its core, is situated on a park that stretches for about 37 square miles and the urban city sky scrape makes the city an attractive and popular destination for visitors.
Osaka is a vibrant metropolis, inhabited by famously easy-going citizens with a taste for the good things in life. The handsomely renovated castle, Osaka-jo, dominates Osaka's heart just as it did centuries ago, while the venerable Shitenno-ji and Sumiyoshi Taisha hark back to the city's past importance as a religious centre. In contrast, bizarre modern buildings, such as the spaceship-like Osaka Dome sports stadium and the fantastic aquarium at the Tempozan Harbor Village, thrust forth from the urban sprawl like shiny gems; they have recently been joined by a large-scale theme park, Universal Studios Japan. But what is really special about Osaka is its people, who speak one of Japan's more earthy dialects, Osaka-ben, and are as friendly as Kyoto folk can be stoic.
