Osaka is located in the Kansai region of Japan. This is one of Japan's major cities with a very large and remarkable international airport that is built a bit offshore from the city. The city has lots of different interesting sights and areas. Universal Studios Japan is located here. There is a good public transportation system here and it's relatively simple to get around the city. It is also well connected to other major cities such as Tokyo and Kyoto, via the Shinkansen train.

A unique title that the city of Osaka holds is the first place in Japan for day to night population ratio of 141%, a depiction of Osaka's economical and commercial centric character. While at night time the population ranks third place in the country at 2.6 million, in daytime it surges to 3.7 million, second only after Tokyo!
