About Osaka
Japan's historic commercial city, on the Inland Sea in western Honshu. Trading, manufacturing and a merchant culture distinct from the capital's.
Population about 10,100,000 at the game's 2030 snapshot.
Osaka is a business market: its traffic comes from companies and connections rather than from holidays, which rewards frequency over seat count.
