Osaka - Wikitravel The central metropolis of the Kansai region, Osaka is the largest of the Osaka-Kobe-Kyoto trio, and its inhabitants exhibit a strong rivalry towards the Kanto region, from baseball, food, popular culture, even to which side they ride escalators (on the left in Tokyo, but on the right in Osaka). Back in the days of the Tokugawa shogunate, Edo (now Tokyo) was the austere seat of military power and Kyoto was the home to the Imperial court and its effete courties, but Osaka was where the merchants made and lost their fortunes. Famed as the base for Japan's yakuza gangsters, Osaka has a dangerous reputation (by Japanese standards), but is still 'remarkably safe for a city of its size, and the overall level of crime is as low as in Tokyo or other Japanese cities. wikitravel.org /en/Osaka   (2323 words)
