As Osaka readies itself for the G20 Summit this weekend, international attention is once again focused on the third largest city in Japan.
For those who have yet to visit, Osaka is a must-see destination when you travel to Japan, not only for its food and entertainment but also for the friendliness of the people and its rich cultural heritage. If you need any more convincing, we strongly recommend a new video by Tokyo-based cinematographer Christoph Gelep.
Called "Osaka Power," the video, despite being only three and a half minutes long, conveys the energy of the city and may even inspire you to visit.
Osaka Power
As stated in the video description, Osaka is "on one hand a thriving, eclectic example of modern day Japan. On the other, a place very much still living in the past. Dated or new, young or old, the loud and carefree spirit of Osaka remains rooted deep within."
