Definitely my favorite city in Japan, but maybe I’m a bit biased because I lived in Hirakata-shi
Its my favorite too, best years of my life in Osaka
Namba is always my No 1 destination the people / food and just the real gritty Japan 🙂
Osaka is also my fav city in Japan. More connected to other parts of Japan that most cities being a transportation hub in the middle of mainland Japan, has pretty much everything Tokyo does, has wonderful cities nearby, Wakayama, Kyoto, Kobe etc. has a great non Japanese population and a phenomenal Japanese population. So laid back and not as shy as other places. Love love love Osaka
So do I.
Osaka misses you!
Osaka was the most chill major city I went to, felt a lot less pressure and stress while there for some reason. Had really good Indian food there, drank at some cool arty dive bars, even Shinsaibashi street was fun to walk down. For sure want to go back and explore more of that city
Whoever recommended me and my friend to visit the Drunken Clam and sing our drunken hearts out until they closed. You gave me one of the best none-memories of Osaka and I thank you for it
that ‘yakuza 0’ game vibes
It was so nice. I was there last week. Way calmer than I imagined and was surprised how different the vibes were from Tokyo. So many non Japanese or English speaking people.
And so many people that were not Yakuza with tattoos.
I lived in Wakayama city and partied here many times… never saw Osaka in daylight.🤣
I been to Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, nagano and Fukuoka. Fukuoka is the most chill, nagano is great but Osaka has a great balance of having everything like Tokyo but not being so crazy populated. Also Osaka people are more open compared to other areas which is deemed rude to Kyoto and Tokyo people but not for westerners.
I feel you either love it or hate it. Been living here 6 years and I don’t like it. There are many great things but I just can’t like it, a lot of my coworkers feel the same even though many were born here. That said it is still one if the best places to live in the world.
I love living in Osaka the prefecture and being very near Osaka the city, but working as a tour guide, Dotombori just makes me groan in pain
