Osaka
Osaka, the second-largest city in Japan and historically its commercial center, is known for its contrast with Tokyo. For instance, Osaka residents ride escalators standing on the right instead of Tokyo's practice of standing on the left. Foodies would fit in well in Osaka. A popular Osakan maxim is kuidaore, meaning "eat yourself into ruin."
Although some major companies have moved their offices to Tokyo, many (including Panasonic, Sanyo and Sharp) still have their headquarters in Osaka, contributing to its important metropolitan economy status.
