Charm of Osaka
Osaka - a large dynamic market, holds great potential in a variety of industries

Osaka is the heart of the Kansai district, which has a population of over 20 million and a $630 billion (USD) economy, equivalent to that of a G7 country. These attributes make it a very attractive choice for foreign enterprises and organizations seeking to enter the Japanese market. Every industry, including high-tech and bio-tech, from manufacturing to distribution and services,is represented - this facilitates locating suitable business partners. And compared with Tokyo, Osaka's considerably lower operating costs are an added benefit for companies located in this region. Osaka is appealing not only as a business base but as a residence. An extensive public transportation network allows foreigners to obtain comfortable, affordable housing within a short commuting distance. Osaka is also close to the ancient cities of Kyoto and Nara, where Japan's traditional culture is still preserved. Osaka - the best first step toward successful business in Japan.
