Universal City BAY Area Conveniently located at the intersection of one of Japan’s major rivers and the Seto Inland Sea, throughout the centuries Osaka, which is known as the “water city”, was a principle center of trade and cultural exchange with not only other areas in Japan, but also parts of mainland China and the Korean peninsula. During the Middle Ages, the city was a base for religious pilgrimages to the many temples and shrines in the region and later came to be known as the “nation’s kitchen” on account of the central role that it plays in distribution. Today, Osaka is developing as a hub for the production of next-generation robots, combining a rich cultural past with a sophisticated high-tech future that provides countless attractions for visitors and residents alike.

It had its own port by the 5th century and by the 17th century, the city had become a center of distribution for the rest of Japan, with many specialty products from the provinces finding their way to Osaka. The canals and bridges that were built by the people to facilitate the movement of goods helped to shape the city and their influence can still be seen to this day. Riverside attractions include the tree-lined banks of the gently flowing rivers in the Okawa~ Nakanoshima area, the lively Dotombori area and the Bay area with its new amusements and theme parks. 1 3 2 4 5 2 1.

Water buses on the Okawa river Immersed in the Romance of History From around the 5th century through to the 8th century, Osaka was declared the nation’s capital several times and played a major role in trade and cultural exchange. Later, the city served as a base for the pilgrimage routes to areas such as Kumano. Osaka Castle was constructed during the 16th century by Hideyoshi Toyotomi, who managed to unify the various warring factions within Japan, and during the 17th century, the city became a center for trade and distribution activities and was referred to as the “nation’s kitchen”. Underpinning this prosperity were the city’s resourceful and enterprising merchants, who introduced the world’s first futures trading system. The city is full of historic places, especially on the Uemachi plateau that runs north to south through the city. Osaka Castle and the remains of Naniwanomiya Palace are located in the north, Shitennoji, which is one of the oldest Buddhist temples in Japan, is located in the central area, and Sumiyoshi-taisha Grand Shrine, which is said to have been built in the 3rd century, is located further to the south. 2 1 3 4 5 6 1.

Osaka Central Public Hall A CITY STEEPED IN HISTORY THE WATER METROPOLIS 3 Delicious & Distinctive Osaka-Style Food CITY OF CULINARY DELIGHTS From ancient times, Osaka has been a lively center of economic and commercial activity located on both overland and maritime trading routes. In latter years it came to be known as the “nation’s kitchen” on account of the central role that it plays in the distribution of seasonal produce from throughout Japan. Blessed with an environment rich in a wide range of foods, the people of Osaka have inherited a traditional food culture that boasts a style and flavor that is unique in Japan. A distinctive feature of this food culture is the use of fish stock, which is known as “dashi.” Used to bring out the natural taste of ingredients and to enhance the aroma of dishes ranging from everyday udon and takoyaki (octopus dumplings) to the most sumptuous of gourmet dishes, “dashi” is the epitome of Osaka’s food culture and even today has an ongoing influence on the food culture of Japan. In addition to the many traditional Japanese restaurants in Osaka, there are also more modern restaurants that have incorporated cooking styles and techniques from other areas of Japan and from overseas, as well as restaurants with famous chefs cooking French and Italian cuisine, and world-class patisseries. The huge range of top-class cuisine available means that visitors are sure to find something exceptional as they explore this gourmet city. 1 2 In Osaka, in June of 2008, organizations related to the restaurant industry in cooperation with educational institutions, the government and various business groups formed the Gourmet City ‒ Osaka Promotion Council in order to further promote the food culture of Osaka to the world. Then in September 2008, Osaka joined the Délice network of Good Food Cities of the World. Established in the city of Lyon in France in September 2007, the aim of the Délice network is to bring together cities whose food cultures are an important part of their identities. The organization also seeks to foster and promote these food cultures and enhance the spirit of fine dining, while encouraging intercultural exchanges among member cities. Osaka is the first city in Japan and only the second city in Asia to join this network, following China s Guangzhou, and its acceptance is proof of the city s worldwide reputation as a gourmet city. The city is determined to make the most of this opportunity to showcase Osaka s unique food culture to the world. 5 4 3 6 7 9 8 10 12 11 13 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13.

Bunraku, which was registered by UNESCO as a World Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2003, is a form of traditional puppet theater that originated in Osaka more than 300 years ago. Accompanied by shamisen music and narrative song, puppeteers manipulate the puppets to create subtle movements and expressions. One of the characteristics of kamigata kabuki is the way in which it realistically portrays a wide range of social obligations, human emotions and romance. In 2005 this too was registered as a World Intangible Cultural Heritage by UNESCO. Noh and kyogen are performed throughout the year at the Noh Theater, while in summer Takigi Noh (noh performed in the light of burning torches) is performance outdoors. A wide range of concerts and musicals are always being held in the many halls and venues throughout the city at which people can enjoy artists from throughout Japan and around the world. 1 2 3 1.

Another feature of Osaka is the many specialized shopping areas. Matsuyamachisuji shopping street boasts many toy wholesalers stocking traditional Japanese items ranging from Japanese dolls through to New Year decorations, hina dolls and carp streamers. You can find everything you could possibly need when starting a restaurant in the Sennichimae Doguyasuji street and in Nippombashi Den-Den Town you will find every conceivable kind of home appliance and computer equipment, along with animation-related products and high-tech parts for robotics difficult to come across anywhere else. 7 FESTIVALS EVENTS & Cherry Blossom Viewing at the Japan Mint Memorial Ceremony for Prince Shotoku Shirokita Iris Garden Spring 3 March Mid-March Sumo March Tournament (Osaka Prefectural Gymnasium) One of the six major tournaments held throughout Japan. 18th~24th Spring Equinox Festival (Shitennoji) One of the Buddhist rituals held each spring and autumn that attracts crowds of people. 3 Days around the 20th Senpukan Hall Open to the Public The former guesthouse of the Japan Mint is opened to the general public.

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.
