(As of February 1, 2009.)

A City that has Always Thrived Around WaterThanks to its convenient location, Osaka has developed as the gateway to Japan, serving as a center for international trade and cultural interac-tion. It had its own port by the 5th century and by the 17th century, the city had become a center of distribution for the rest of Japan, with many specialty products from the provinces finding their way to Osaka. The canals and bridges that were built by the people to facilitate the move-ment of goods helped to shape the city and their influence can still be seen to this day. Riverside attractions include the tree-lined banks of the gently flowing rivers in the Okawa~Nakanoshima area, the lively Dotombori area and the Bay area with its new amusements and theme parks.

Immersed in the Romance of HistoryFrom around the 5th century through to the 8th century, Osaka was declared the nations capital several times and played a major role in trade and cultural exchange. Later, the city served as a base for the pilgrimage routes to areas such as Kumano. Osaka Castle was constructed during the 16th century by Hideyoshi Toyotomi, who managed to unify the various warring factions within Japan, and during the 17th century, the city became a center for trade and distribution activities and was referred to as the nations kitchen. Underpinning this prosperity were the citys resourceful and enterprising merchants, who introduced the worlds first futures trading system. The city is full of historic places, especially on the Uemachi plateau that runs north to south through the city. Osaka Castle and the remains of Naniwanomiya Palace are located in the north, Shitennoji, which is one of the oldest Buddhist temples in Japan, is located in the central area, and Sumiyoshi-taisha Grand Shrine, which is said to have been built in the 3rd century, is located further to the south.

The grand and luxurious Main Hall (1,006 seats) is particularly suited for international events. It is equipped with a stage, lighting and audiovisual equipment, as well as simultaneous interpreta-tion equipment (6 languages). Sakura East and West can be combined to form one large conference room that can seat up to 400 people. A range of other smaller meeting rooms is also available.
