Ōsaka

Japan's third-largest city and long its commercial heart, Osaka anchors the Kansai region with a food and restaurant culture that has earned it a reputation as the country's kitchen. Landmarks include Osaka Castle, the Dōtonbori entertainment district, Tsūtenkaku tower in Shinsekai, and Shitennō-ji, one of the oldest Buddhist temples in Japan. The city sits close to mountains and within reach of UNESCO World Heritage sites across the wider Kansai region, with Osaka University and the Osaka Exchange among its major institutions.
