Osaka is Japan of contrasts. A city where 6th-century temples stand beside futuristic skyscrapers, where fish markets meet giant Dotonbori signs, and where the nights turn streets into a continuous show. More lively and spontaneous than Tokyo, Osaka maintains its accent, humor, and warmth. People...
