Great PR for the Osaka/Kansas Region for the great variety of Urban and Countryside attractions within one hour travel plus more affordable in general! Super Video!
I'm 66 Japanese and hometown is Fukuoka. I was 30' live in Osaka and Tokyo. My American husband loves Kansai and specially Kobe. Best Food and reasonable price is 100% Osaka.
Thanks for this vid, this is helping me decide to go study for some years in Osaka instead of somewhere else (I never had interest in Tokyo to begin with, but Osaka so close to Kyoto, Nara, Himeji, Kobe and people are friendlier and more helpful). If I manage to stay there I think I would head south to live in Sakai, seems peaceful there, or any other Kansai place.
My ideal first trip to Japan is centered around Osaka, watch a day of the Harubasho, see some cherry blossoms, indulge my gamer nerd delights in Dotonbori
ovbious Osaka is so much better for visitors yes only takes 20-30min to Kyoto and Nara which a lot Tokyo adovocates do not want mention. If you loook for better shurines and temples Kyoto and Nara are the best and Asakusa tokyo is way far behind. This video did a superb job! Tourist deserve good old day vibes of Japan instead of Sibya scrambe and robo cafe.
Osaka is better but it can get easily boring there compared with Tokyo. But still people in osaka are friendlier, the food is great and the cost is cheap. Fukuoka is also an underrated place.
Great vid, great content and great criterion my guy. Im on a 1.5 year, 13 country trip with my gf and we are in the throws of heading there next. You made up my mind... now I just need to convince her now haha Osaka always sounded better than Tokyo. Suicide by food is my plan
This video is so helpful. I'm actually trying to decide where to live. Could you make a pros and cons for KYOTO vs OSAKA? I'm having a hard time trying to decide where to live for about 5 months. someone please help
I would rather live in Kyoto, more quiet and soulful. Doesn't really like Osaka other than experiencing nightlife (people are more chill and food/drinks are less expensive). Tokyo stays #1 for visiting IMHO.
@@BeeboJapan I strongly diasgree. Not talking about Kiyomizu dera and Nishiki market here but about the whole area. I find Osaka much more busy and noisy. People act differently too. Just my opinion.
Population comparison was a lil off. You compared the entire Tokyo-“to(都)” to Osaka-“shi(市)“ only. 都(to) is comparable to 県(ken) or府 (fu). Tokyo-To: area of 2194km sq. Population: appx. 14M Osaka-fu: area of 1899km sq. Population: appx. 8.8M Population of the two entire metropolitan areas: Tokyo-Greater Metropolitan Area; Population: appx. 38M Osaka-Keihanshin Metropolitan Area; Population: appx. 19M
I don't remember what I said tbh lol but the point was likely just that they are both big cities. Most people think Osaka is this tiny, quiet place to the West.
The proximity to Kyoto, Nara, etc makes it the best

Oh man Kyoto is far from quiet. Absolutely overrun by tourists. It was super nice during Covid though 😅

I would rather live in Otsu, Shiga, by Biwa Lake. 13km from downtown Kyoto.

Looks a little boring compared to Tokyo.
That's what I'm getting from this video.
then I think everuthing other than Tokyo in Japan is boring
@@whitewolf2767 ... interesting. But, I can understand your point of view.
@@cristianhcm1914 Tpkyo has a very fast paced life....too much building..too many people..
other than nagoya and osaka..japan is calm and peaceful
