Information about Osaka
Why Osaka? Osaka is Japan's third largest and second most important city with a population of 2.5 million. Since ancient times, Osaka has been a gathering place. Located at the confluence of a vast web of busy river and sea routes, it naturally grew into a flourishing economic center and became the gateway to Japan for travellers and traders from all over Asia. It was here that Japan first met the world. Osaka was historically the commercial capital of Japan, and to date the heart of Japan's second largest (and the world's ninth largest) metropolitan area of Osaka-Kobe-Kyoto, whose population is 17mln. Osaka is traditionally considered the "nation's kitchen” or the gourmet food capital of Japan. Osaka was chosen to host Expo '70, the first world exposition held in Asia.
