Another street at night in Osaka 大阪の夜の街

A street at night in Osaka looks interesting. In the country of Japan, Osaka is a large port city and commercial center on the Japanese island of Honshu. It's known for its modern architecture, nightlife, night lights, and tasty street food. The 16th-century shogunate Osaka Castle, which has undergone several restorations, is its main historical landmark. It's surrounded by a moat and park with plum, peach and cherry-blossom trees. Sumiyoshi-taisha is among Japan’s oldest Shinto shrines.

Shinto ( Japanese: 神道 ) is a certain religion which originated in Japan. Classified as an East Asian religion by scholars of religion, its practitioners often regard it as Japan's indigenous religion and as a so-called nature religion. Scholars sometimes call its practitioners Shintoists, although adherents rarely use that term themselves. There seems to be no central authority in control of Shinto and much diversity exists among practitioners.

大阪の夜の街並みが面白そう。 日本の国では、大阪は日本の本州の大きな港湾都市であり商業の中心地です。 近代建築、ナイトライフ、常夜灯、おいしい屋台の食べ物で知られています。 何度か修復された16世紀の幕府大阪城は、その主要な歴史的建造物です。 濠と公園に囲まれ、梅、桃、桜の木があります。 住吉大社は、日本で最も古い神社の1つです。

神道は日本で生まれたある宗教です。 宗教学者によって東アジアの宗教として分類されており、その実践者はしばしばそれを日本の先住民の宗教、いわゆる自然の宗教と見なしています。 学者は時々その開業医を神道家と呼びますが、信奉者がその用語を自分で使うことはめったにありません。 神道を支配する中心的な権威はないようであり、開業医の間には多くの多様性が存在します。

Osaka was traditionally considered Japan's economic hub. Osaka is certainly a major financial center of Japan.

Etymology is an explanation of where a word came from. Ōsaka means "large hill" or "large slope". It is unclear when this name gained prominence over Naniwa, but the oldest written evidence for the name seems to date back to 1496.

By the Edo period, 大坂 (Ōsaka) and 大阪 (Ōsaka) were mixed use, and the writer Hamamatsu Utakuni, in his book "Setsuyo Ochiboshu" published in 1808, states that the kanji 坂 was abhorred because it "returns to the earth," and then 阪 was used. The kanji 土 (earth) is also similar to the word 士 (knight), and 反 means against, so 坂 can be read as "samurai rebellion," then 阪 was official name in 1868 after the Meiji Restoration. The older kanji (坂) is still in very limited use, usually only in historical contexts. As an abbreviation, the modern kanji 阪 han refers to Osaka City or Osaka Prefecture.
