Osaka is the third most populous city in Japan. The location in the bay and the presence of a convenient port made Osaka an important trade center of the country. The less influence the samurai had in the area, the more successful the merchants were. This had a positive effect on the development of the city. Until now, the Dotonbori shopping district and Shinsaibashi-suji streets are important for the economy and attract tourists. In addition, Osaka is the capital of the Bunraku National Theater and comedy. Connoisseurs of local culture, especially those who know Japanese, will enjoy colorful performances.
Since there is no free land in the city, the existing territory is used here as diligently as possible. So the Tennoji Zoo was opened within the park of the same name, and the National Museum of Art was built almost completely underground.
