Tourism  
New construction and renovation of old buildings and parks have breathed fresh life into Osaka.

This look to the future makes for a nice contrast to the city's ancient political and religious past. Since the city was established as Japan's first capital in the 7th century, it has always been a place of culture.

Many of the nation's arts originated there: the tea ceremony, flower arrangement and the performing arts of Bunraku, Kabuki and Noh. Today, it's known for its writers, artists, musicians and comedians.
