Osaka

When people think of Japan, an impression of precision and orderliness instantly springs to mind. However, Osaka doesn't necessarily comply with the typical concept we have of Japan. In Osaka, the atmosphere is more relaxed than in Tokyo, you will notice people chatting loudly in the street; the subways are not as quiet as those in Tokyo. The city is characterized by its positive attitudes and optimism which give it a vibrant and lively feel. In times gone by, "Osakans" made full use of these unique qualities and were successful in politics. They now employ these qualities to modern commerce and they are famous for their refined and sophisticated business talent. For most travelers, their general impression of Osaka is not as distinctive as it is for Tokyo or Hokkaido, because Osaka is a very open and versatile city whose food, shopping, history, culture and people attract you to visit the city!
