THE CITY OF OSAKA

Osaka has a population of 2.5 million inhabitants and is Japan's third largest and second most important city. It is located at the mouth of the Yodo River on Osaka Bay, in the Kansai region of the main island of Honshū. It has been the economic powerhouse of the Kansai region for many centuries. Japan’s capital city Tokyo may be politically and financially more important, and Kyoto may be the city of ancient tradition, but Osaka is the nation's honest heartbeat. Osaka has also traditionally been referred to as the "nation's kitchen", or the mecca of gourmet food.
