rach 1 Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 I just wrote in a different thread that I find Osaka and Kobe people to be more friendly than Tokyo-ites. Maybe its because I live here. Any thoughts anyone who knows both well? Link to post Share on other sites
danz 0 Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 I don't know osaka well, but I love visting there...have a good friend who lives there... Osaka is much more colorful than tokyo...personality wise...people have more "attitude" than tokyo, which I like...not as uptight...just an overall better vibe that I feel when I visit osaka v. Tokyo... danz Link to post Share on other sites
rajeem 0 Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 Osaka! The people down here are really friendly generally...but I am biased! Link to post Share on other sites
Davo 1 Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 Tokyo is closer to the mountains and offers far more in the way of employment opportunities. There's plenty to keep you busy nightlife wise in Osaka and at the end of the day Japanese cities are fairly similar in a lot of ways. Osaka people are fairly friendly and outgoing(by Japanese standards anyway)and anyway you can't really expect people in big cities to be friendly anyway. I think Osaka is fine and to be honest have never spent any time in Tokyo cause when I travel in Japan I want to get away from the city. Link to post Share on other sites
jared 0 Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 I dont know many people from either place but the rumor is that Osaka girls have a sence of humor while the tokyo ones dont. Link to post Share on other sites
montoya 0 Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 another broad stereotype (from my freelancing point of view) is that Osaka-companies are really stingy with money, whereas Tokyo-based clients are not as bad. When it comes to paying clients, gotta say Tokyo wins out. Link to post Share on other sites
Chyna 0 Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 I like being in Osaka I get a better feeling than when I was in Tokyo, although that may well be because I was new to Japan when I was in Tokyo. Osaka is a great city though, I really love it. Link to post Share on other sites

7-11 2 Posted October 23, 2004 Share Posted October 23, 2004 You know I spend my time between the two, more often than not in Osaka. While they do have differences of course, like any other cities, I seem to enjoy my time more in Osaka I have the better friends here. Link to post Share on other sites
