Osaka

Osaka is Japan's third largest but second most important city. For many centuries it has been theOsaka economic powerhouse of the Kansai region.

I was known as Naniwa before the Nara Period, when the capital used to be moved with the reign of each new emperor. Naniwa was the first ever known capital of Japan.

A great place to visit or for bussiness, but not a quiet one. If you are looking to relax this could be the wrong destination for your trip.
