Osaka itself has a rich history. It once served as Japan’s capital. This was when Emperor Kotoku built Naniwa Nagara Toyosaki Palace in 645 AD. Osaka then became a vital hub. It connected Nara, China, and Korea.
Centuries later, Osaka transformed into Japan’s economic center. During the Edo period Osaka was known for its affluent lifestyle. This was also a time when both Bunraku and Kabuki flourished.
In 1889, Osaka was officially established as a modern city. It quickly became Japan’s industrial heartland. Osaka earned the nickname “Manchester of the East”.
