About Us

Welcome to OSAKA CITY DOT COM (formerly Ichiban No Machi). OSAKA CITY DOT COM provides first-hand reporting about Osaka, and the best information on what to see and do in Osaka City.

The goal of OSAKA CITY DOT COM is to introduce our readers to some of our favorite businesses in Osaka, giving you an insider’s view of why we think Osaka the jewel of Japan. We provide local reviews of Osaka restaurants and other businesses. Unlike some big, corporate websites, we are not trying to show every restaurant and bar in Osaka. Instead, we provide a short list of carefully chosen recommendations of places to visit in Osaka, with personal reviews, and hundreds of original photos.

OSAKA CITY DOT COM is for visitors. It’s for locals. And it is made with love, in Osaka, because we love to be here.

And if you have comments, suggestions, or recommendations for our staff, please send us an email.

We are an independent media group, providing original, local content about Osaka City, Sapporo City, Tokyo City, and other of the many fine destinations across Japan.
