Outline of the Osaka Bay Area
spacer
 

The Osaka Bay Area, located roughly at the center of Japan, has played a
leading role in the history, culture and economy of the nation. Since as long
as 1,300 years ago, when the country was founded, the Osaka Bay Area has
served as a major diplomatic gateway to continental culture. The Area has
also made great contributions to the development of Japanese culture, serving
as a hub of trading with foreign countries and of cultural exchange. Today, the
Kansai Metropolitan Area, Japan's second largest metropolitan area after
Tokyo, continues to play a leading role in the cultural and economic development
of the nation.

The Osaka Bay Area, with historical and cultural background about which
Japan can boast to the world, features industrial and urban clusters that
are the driving force of Japan's economy. Moreover, blessed with abundant
nature, the Area provides a high-quality living environment and amenities
for those from overseas countries as well. As in the past, the Area has
attracted many people from abroad, who have formed many communities.

The Osaka Bay Area has maintained its position as a hub of the nation's
economic and cultural exchange activities. Conveniently situated for land,
sea and air transportation and serving as a gateway to Japan, the Osaka Bay Area
provides superior business and living environments for those whose activities
span the globe.

We hope that people and enterprises from all around the world will visit the
Osaka Bay Area and experience its vigorous economic and cultural exchange activities.
