City of neon dreams. The city of Osaka at night, Japan

In the heart of Japan, where the past and future intertwine, lies a city pulsating with life and culture—Osaka. Traditionally an economic hub, Osaka has twice served briefly as the imperial capital, once in the 7th and once in the 8th century. It flourished culturally during the Edo period (1603–1867) and became a major industrial centre after the Meiji Restoration in1868, which restored imperial rule to Japan.

Known as the 'Nation's Kitchen,' Osaka boasts a culinary scene that tantalises taste buds with dishes like takoyaki, a ball-shaped fried cake stuffed with chopped octopus, and okonomiyaki, a savoury pancake loaded with cabbage, meat and various toppings. But the city's charm isn't just in its gastronomic delights. Step into the past's embrace at Osaka Castle, a majestic relic of Japan's rich history and a symbol of unwavering resilience. Wander through the gardens of Shitenno-ji Temple, one of the oldest Buddhist temples in the country and an oasis of tranquility amidst the bustling city. Explore Dōtonbori, a district known for its dazzling neon billboards, including the famous Glico Running Man and the towering mechanised crab sign of Kani Dōraku restaurant. Every corner of Osaka is a journey through time and flavours.
