Osaka began to play a great role in trade and cultural
exchange with the establishment of its port, which
opened in Naniwazu in the 5th century. The town
enjoyed brisk business with mainland China and the
Korean peninsula as well as benefitting from domestic trade links.
In the middle ages, it prospered as a sea route and a
land route terminal for pilgrimages to temples and
shrines such as Kumano, and gradually a city
emerged. Japan became unified under warlord Toyotomi Hideyoshi at the end of the 16th century. He built
Osaka Castle and a new town as he realized its
convenient location which opened to the sea and
prospered along the river.
In the Edo period (1603-1868), canals ran throughout
the city crammed with busy boat traffic laden with
products from all over Japan. It was at the center of
the Japanese economy and distribution, and was
known as the “Nation’s Kitchen”.
The Aqua Metropolis is still going strong, as evinced
by the “Water Corridor” flowing through the center of
t h e c i t y. T h e g r e e n e r y - f i l l e d O k a w a R i v e r –
Nakanoshima (Dojimagawa River, Tosaborigawa
River) and the busy Osaka signature Dotombori area
are connected with the Higashi Yokoborigawa River
and Kizugawa River, forming a four-sided configuration rarely seen anywhere in the world. The waterfront
charm extends from there to the Bay Area. You can
enjoy cruising in every season, relax at a river front
terrace or café, and visit various amusements and a
world famous theme park. The charm of the Aqua
Metropolis knows no bounds.

Osaka was the center of economic development
in Japan for a very long time, which is why there
are a great number of dynamic landmarks with a
historical air. Midosuji main street, 44m wide and
4km long, is one such place. The areas around
the north and south terminals of Midosuji are the
flourishing “Kita” and “Minami”, faces of Osaka.
Kita is rapidly evolving now. A highly functional
dome roof has been completed this year at JR
Osaka station, connecting the north and south
station buildings. There are four busy department
stores near the station. In the north district of the
station, a new town will be bor n under the
concept of water and greenery in the spring of
2013, equipped with offices, commercial facilities, hotels and residential real estate.
Minami is a genuine Osaka area, especially Dotombori. Hozenji-Yokocho Alley filled with ambience of olden times, the modern building of
Namba Parks with its rooftop garden, a luxury
brand street in Shinsaibashi and the like. The
charm lies in this unique world where contrasting
items co-exist unpretentiously.
Abeno Q’s Mall, the largest in Osaka, came into
existence at the south gate of Tennoji and Abeno
terminals. In addition, construction of the tallest
terminal building in Japan is well under way.
Please fully enjoy Osaka, a place which is always
energetic and filled with points to see and enjoy.

City with the “Osaka Taste”
B

Osaka city joins “Délice” a network of
gourmet cities in the world. “Délice”,
advocated by the city of Lyon in France,
was established to develop and promote
food culture, enhance the spirit of fine
dining and promote intercultural
exchange between member cities, etc.
6
From the dishes of the common folk to sophisticated Japanese eateries and western-style
restaurants, just about everything is tasty. Osaka
is a city of “eat till you drop”, a fact acknowledged by all and sundry.
The key point of Osaka food is above all delicious
fish stock to bring out the essential goodness of
the ingredients with a light soy sauce. Any and all
dishes will have a rich flavored stock made from
kombu seaweed and dried bonito. In the Edo
period (1603-1868), Osaka collected special
products from all over Japan, when it was known
as the “Nation’s Kitchen”. Blessed with seafood
from nearby oceans, and abundant vegetables
harvested in the suburbs, people developed a
sophisticated palate, and cooks trained to
sharpen and deepen their skill for creating Osaka
dishes. Customers and cooks converse over the
counter, where customers enjoy the view of cooking, and taste the freshly cooked meals. This style
had its beginning in Osaka which is a city most
particular about eating.
As well as Japanese cuisine, chefs from all over
the world trained in French, Italian, Chinese and
ethnic cooking show off their skills. Collaboration
beyond mutual barriers widens and deepens the
food culture, only available in Osaka. Please try
all the “City of Osaka Taste”.

Skillfully prepared Kaiseki cooking is the
essence of Japanese food, which can be
enjoyed easily with Shokado lunch-box
devised by a cook in Osaka to bring
Kaiseki along on a picnic. While Nigiri
sushi in Edomae style is the main portion,
do not forget traditional Osakazushi such
as Pressed sushi and Steamed sushi.
Among numerous pot dishes such as crab
pot, Shabu-shabu (sliced pieces of high
quality beef pot) and noodle pot, a blowfish pot called Tecchiri represents Osaka.
Casual gourmet includes cutlet on a
skewer, BBQ, Tempura, and Konamon
(flour-based food), and others. Enjoy them
to suit your taste.

We urge you to come to shopping streets and
markets to feel the liveliness of Osaka, a town of
commerce.
Famous places include Tenjinbashi-suji Shopping
Street, the longest in Japan, and the noted tourist
spot Shinsaibashi-suji Shopping Street. Specialty
shopping streets offer variety. Nippombashi
Den-Den Town has long been known for electrical
appliances, but it is now becoming famous for
rare comic and animation goods such as figures.
Matsuyamachi-suji Shopping Street is lined with
toy wholesalers for annual event items; New
Year’s Day decoration, hina dolls, and carp
streamers. Sennichimae Doguya-suji Shopping
Street offers every kind of item for restaurants
where unique Osaka souvenirs such as wax food
samples are sold.
You cannot exclude the Shinsaibashi Brand-name
Boutique Area of luxury brand shops, the Horie
neighborhood of unique shops and cafés, and
America Mura (American Village), the origin of
local young fashion and culture.
Regardless of the items and prices, they all share
ample hospitality. We guarantee you will be able

Traditional folk art such as Noh, Kyogen, Ningyo
Jorurui Bunraku and Kamigata Kabuki, etc, has
long been a living part of the Osaka lifestyle. In
particular, Ningyo Jorurui Bunraku originated in
Osaka about 400 years ago. Dolls come to life by
the skill of the puppeteers, showing a stage face
seemingly more human than real people amid
Shamisen music and the Joruri narrator. It was
registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2003. Compared with the spectacular
Aragoto in Edo Kabuki, Kamigata Kabuki
features Wagoto depicting duty and humanity,
and also love between man and woman. Comic
entertainment such as Rakugo and Manzai are
enjoyed on a daily basis.
Concerts and live performances of every genre
are held almost every day. The Symphony Hall
won the highest praise from the famous conductor von Karajan, a hall of classical music with
world class acoustics. In addition various performances can be enjoyed at any time including
musicals at Osaka Shiki Theatre, play, opera and
ballet at Umeda Arts Theater.

OSAKA
CASTLE
OSAKA CASTLE
Castle Fortifications
The castle walls and turrets were designed and built during the Edo period (17th∼Mid19thC)
to prevent any hostiles from entering the Castle. The two-story Inui turret and the powder
magazine with its stone walls and ceilings are places of special interest. Thirteen of the
buildings in the castle complex have been designated as important cultural assets.
The Four Seasons of Osaka Castle Park
The historic buildings of the Osaka Castle complex blend in with the
natural splender of this 106.7ha site that is located right in the heart of
Osaka. In the spring, people come to enjoy the plum blossoms (1,250
trees of 93 varieties) and the cherry blossoms (approx. 600 trees in
Nishinomaru Garden), while in the fall they come to see the enchanting
autumn colors.
Folding Screen of the Osaka Summer Campaign Important Cultural Property, Japanese Government
Timeless, Majestic, Beautiful
Construction of Osaka Castle commenced in 1583
by Hideyoshi Toyotomi, who aimed to unify Japan
as a nation. Two years later, the main tower was
completed and used as a command post. This was
burned down after the Toyotomi clan was killed in
1615 and although it was rebuilt during the Tokugawa Period, it was struck by lightning in 1665 and
was once again reduced to ashes. It remained in
ruins for 266 years until 1931 when it was rebuilt to
once again grace the Osaka skyline, this time with
the help of public donations. Another restoration
project was started in 1995 to restore the main
tower to its former splendor, after which this muchloved dynamic symbol of Osaka was registered by
the government as a tangible cultural asset.
Items on Display at Osaka Castle
More than 8,000 important cultural assets are stored in the main tower of
Osaka Castle, the most impressive of which is the folding screen
painting depicting the summer battle of Osaka. In this masterpiece that
is said to have been commissioned after the battle by the Fukuoka
feudal lord Nagamasa Kuroda, the commander of the eastern forces, the
various facets of the battlefield are clearly depicted, such as the castle
and town prior to their destruction and the terrible confusion in the
surround areas. Other items include many good examples of the
writings, armor and weapons, pictures and woodblock prints.

cities in Japan. More than ten years have passed since the Great Hanshin
Earthquake and the glittering new city is testimony to the resilience of the
spirit of the city’s residents.
