Osaka

Hello again! 

Lately I was thinking about spring coming and the first thing that came up to my mind was a desire of a breathtaking trip. That’s why today I will share with you some information about Osaka, the city of Japan.

Osaka has been known as NANIWA in Antiquity. It is one of the main industrial, cultural, educative and entertainment center of Japan. The city takes seventh place in production of gross domestic product on the world. In the 3.8 million’s city there are 30 000 factories and plants!

But Osaka is something much more that industrial city, when you look at the pictures you might say that it’s a completely different world….

Amazing old buildings, beauty of nature fit perfectly with modern infrastructure. Everything is in order and harmony.

 

Osaka Castle, called also gold or glittery castle. It is Osaka’s best showcases with a long history and tradition. The castle was built and rebuilt many times. 

 



Shinsaibashi – city’s main shopping area where you can find Geishas, traditional Japanese female entertainers who act as hostesses and whose skills include performing various arts to entertain customers. 

  

 

The National Museum of Art where we can find inter alia masterpieces of Paul Cézanne, Pablo Picasso and Max Ernst. 

Shintō is a Japanese ethnic religion which focuses on ritual practices to be carried out to establish a connection between present-day Japan and its ancient past. The religion is based on Japanese mythology and its name means “way of the gods”. In Osaka there is a famous buddish temple called Shitennōji.
