Osaka is Japan's third-largest city and the commercial powerhouse of the Kansai (Kinki) region, home to approximately 2.7 million city residents and 19 million in the greater Keihanshin metropolitan area (including Kyoto and Kobe). Like all of Japan, Osaka operates on Japan Standard Time (JST, UTC+9), a fixed year-round offset. Osaka has a distinct identity from Tokyo — it is known for its merchant culture (Osaka-jin are said to greet each other with 'Moukari makkā?' — 'Are you making any profit?'), its incredibly vibrant street food scene (takoyaki, okonomiyaki), and its direct, down-to-earth personality contrasting with Tokyo's formality. Osaka Castle, first built in 1583 by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, was the largest castle in Japan at the time. The Dōtonbori entertainment district, with its famous Glico Running Man sign, is one of Japan's most photographed nightscapes. Osaka was selected to host Expo 2025, with the theme 'Designing Future Society for Our Lives.'
