Osaka is Japan's third largest city, home to around two and a half million people. Widely derided as a city of the night, its stark ugliness best appreciated under the flattering glow of neon, Osaka is nonetheless an exciting city to experience, and one well worth visiting if you are looking for a slice of fast paced excitement, great shopping and nightlife, and more than a little bit of typical Japanese eccentricity.
Osaka is predominantly an industrial town, but as with many Japanese cities, the leisure needs of the local population have created an infrastructure that makes most European tourist resorts look a bit poor in terms of attractions to keep you entertained.
With several theme parks, a vast nightlife district around the Dotombori area of the city, and plenty of things to keep tourists occupied during the day, Osaka is a great place to spend a few days, and the pace of life will leave you almost breathless.
The modern skyline of the city seems to change daily, the people seem to sprint from one place to another, cars seldom stop moving, and all the time, noise surrounds you to such an extent that you soon forget it is even there. Osaka is all about pace of life, and as long as you can keep up, you will be blown away by this fascinating city.
