Osaka Prefecture

Built around Osaka Bay’s port and the waterways of the Yodo River, Osaka Prefecture grew into one of Japan’s principal metropolitan regions. Its western edge faces the bay, while the densely settled Osaka Plain connects the city of Osaka with the wider Kansai urban belt. Osaka Castle remains the prefecture’s best-known historic landmark, associated with Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Japan’s late-sixteenth-century unification campaigns. Temple precincts, covered shopping streets and food-centred districts in central Osaka also reflect the city’s famously energetic commercial culture.
