A town with a canal loved by the locals. Masses of neon lights and the atmosphere of the 17th century coexist in the area. Heaps of restaurants and shops which will keep you busy for days.

Large Signboard & Kuidaore Culture : Food culture The national characters of Japanese are different for each place. We often say Kobe people are Hakidaore, Kyoto people are Kidaore and Osaka people are Kuidaore. This means people who live in Kobe are extravagant in shoes, Kyoto people in dress, and Osaka people in food. People who live in Osaka are very fussy over foods. People from Osaka choose ingredients very carefully and never trash any foods. The bay of Osaka used to have a very strong tide. Sardine inhabit the Osaka bay, so predatory fish that feed on the sardine are attracted and fisherman catch them. Osaka always has fresh fish. This is why Osaka Nanba write this symbolic letter 難波 or 魚庭. 難 means "strongly difficult" and 波 means "the tide". 魚 means "a fish". 庭 means "a garden." There are great producers of onion, eggplant, and potato in Sensyu Osaka and a great producer of eggplant, beans and potatoes in Kawachi Osaka. Osaka temperature is quite warm so good vegetables grow , and Yodogawa river provides Biwako-lake's clean water for Osaka and good bay fish. These main reasons explain why Osaka people are fussy for food.
