Osaka Quick Facts

With a population of more than 2.5 million people in a total area of around 223.00 km2 (86.10 sq mi), it is no surprise that Osaka is the 3rd largest city in Japan.

Osaka was once the capital of this country. The 1st full-scale palace of Japan – Naniwa-no-Miya Palace was constructed in 650 and now is maintained as a park which is situated south of Osaka Castle.

Also known as the “Nation’s Kitchen”, you will have many chances to enjoy the delicious foods (e.g., takoyaki, okonomiyaki and dotonbori) in Osaka.

If you travel to Osaka with kids, don’t miss an opportunity to discover the 2nd aquarium in the world – Osaka Kaiyukan Aquarium and Universal Studios.

Osaka is home to many famous Japanese comedians. Additionally, many travellers say that Osaka feels more friendly than other major Japanese cities.
