Osaka City is the central city of Kansai and is a lively area with everything from business to shopping to gourmet food. Downtown areas such as Umeda, Namba, and Shinsaibashi are home to offices and commercial facilities, and are rich in urban functions. On the other hand, it is also attractive that there are many spots where you can feel nature even within the city, such as Osaka Castle Park and Nakanoshima Park. The area has well-developed railway networks such as JR, Osaka Metro, Hankyu, Hanshin, and Kintetsu, and has good access to Kyoto and Kobe. This area is recommended for working adults in their 20s and 30s who want to enrich their work and private lives.
Osaka
Voice of area responsible
As someone who is in charge of Osaka City, I often hear comments such as ``easy access and rich entertainment options''. Especially in the Umeda and Namba areas, there are plenty of commercial facilities, so you won't have any trouble shopping or eating out. On the other hand, there are green spots around Tennoji and Osaka Castle Park, where you can forget about the hustle and bustle of the city and refresh yourself. Also, since Shin-Osaka Station is located, traveling by Shinkansen is easy. Osaka is the perfect area for people who want to fully enjoy business, life, and play.
Osaka City is one of the largest cities in the Kansai region, packed with sightseeing, gourmet food, and culture. ``Dotonbori'' and ``Namba Grand Kagetsu'' are classic spots where you can feel the bustle of Osaka, and you can casually enjoy eating while walking and comedy culture.
Nakanoshima is an area recommended for art and architecture lovers. Lined with the Nakanoshima Museum of Art, the National Museum of Art, Osaka, and the historic Central Public Hall, you can spend a relaxing time enjoying the scenery along the river.
The area around Tennoji is home to Abeno Harukas, the tallest building in Japan, as well as the classic Tennoji Zoo and Shitennoji, making it an area where you can enjoy everything from shopping to history and nature. The night view from Harukas observation deck is also popular.
There are also towns such as Amerikamura, Horie, and Nakazakicho where youth culture is alive and well, making it perfect for a stroll that stimulates the senses, such as visiting second-hand clothing stores or looking for unique cafes. Furthermore, at Osaka Castle Park, you can enjoy active activities such as running and picnicking.
