Why Osaka is the Ideal City for Long-Term Stays in Japan

Why Osaka is the Ideal City for Long-Term Stays in Japan

If you’re planning to stay in Japan for several months—whether for work, study, or a cultural adventure—Osaka is one of the best cities to base yourself. Known for its friendly locals, rich culinary scene, and convenient access to both urban and natural attractions, Osaka offers a lifestyle that balances comfort, culture, and connectivity.

Unlike the fast-paced atmosphere of Tokyo, Osaka has a more relaxed, welcoming vibe that makes it easier for newcomers to settle in. The city is famous for its street food, with takoyaki, okonomiyaki, and kushikatsu available on nearly every corner. Beyond the food scene, Osaka also boasts world-class shopping, entertainment, and historical landmarks like Osaka Castle and Shitennoji Temple.

For those coming to Japan for work or study, Osaka is well-connected by public transport, making commuting easy even if you're living in the suburbs. Major universities and language schools also draw students from all over the world, creating a diverse, international environment.
