THE ORIENT: Osaka
| Overview | |
| Osaka is one of the premier vacation spots in Japan.
Beautiful and busy, graceful and lively, Osaka has it all. The rich heritage
of the region is complemented by the modern feel and splendid architecture.
The ancient landmarks are glorious, and you will be treated to marvelous
wonders at every turn. The citizens of Osaka have great pride in their
hometown, and they should, because it is magnificent. While there are a
number of outstanding man-made achievements in Osaka, the best sites are
those that combine the thought of man and the brilliance of nature. Two
examples of such spots are the Floating Garden Observatory and the Osaka
Aquarium, where locals and tourists can see nature in its truest and most
exquisite forms. In addition to the extraordinary intrinsic glory of the region, the Osaka government has really done a terrific job in the last few years of keeping the city clean, pristine, and full of activities. There are a tremendous number of enjoyable engagements to take part in at any given time, especially at night and on the weekends. The businessmen and employed population of Osaka are incredibly hard working, so when they get a little time off they love to party. Great bars, fabulous restaurants, and fun karaoke clubs line the streets in certain areas of Osaka, and a night out is a fun night indeed. During the day, there are spectacular museums and architectural triumphs to hold your attention, and the underground shopping network is extraordinary. Osaka is located on Honshu's southern coast, and has a fascinating 1500-year history. Heritage is important to all members of Japanese society, and families have an incredibly strong bond within them. Assisting a parent or grandparent in need is always the primary duty of the children. This extravagant city, so full of energy and meaning, is the capital of Osaka Prefecture, and is the third most inhabited city in Japan after Tokyo and Yokohama. |
