AINOSUKE KATAOKA Comment.
My name is Ainosuke Kataoka. I am very happy and honored to be able to continue to promote Osaka, my birthplace, as I did last year. My recommendation for Osaka is, first and foremost, Osaka Castle, and the Osaka Shochikuza Theater and Dotonbori, the main theater for us Kamigata kabuki actors! Then there is the Osaka Shochikuza Theater, the main theater for Kamigata kabuki actors, and Dotonbori! The Nintoku-tennō-ryō tumulus in my hometown Sakai! And the Osaka Museum of History, Nakanoshima Art Museum, and good food ....
Everyone can have a lot of fun at Universal Studios Japan, where there is also a Minion Park!
Osaka is a city filled with many attractions! Come to Osaka to get cheered up!

Ann, Mika, commented.
My name is Anne Mika, and I have been appointed as the Osaka Coming Ambassador for the second year in a row.
I am very happy and honored to be able to help enliven Osaka, the warm, friendly, and beloved city where I grew up. I recommend Osaka for its cheerful and energetic "people," delicious and affordable "food," easy shopping and lively "city of water," and "sightseeing," where you can enjoy everything from world heritage sites to the great outdoors. From nature and historical buildings such as Osaka Castle, Shitennoji Temple, Minoh Falls, Mozu and Furuichi burial mounds, and the terraced rice fields of Shimoakasaka, to Universal Studios Japan, Kaiyukan, Dotonbori, Tsutenkaku Tower, Abeno Harukas, Morino's food samples, and the Cup Noodle Museum of Nissin, there are many things to do in Osaka. Osaka is a super entertainment town where you can see, eat, and play all in one place. We hope you will come to Osaka for fun! Come to Osaka!
