Ted. Mention Osaka to most Westerners and they would think of the castle. And that's not wrong. It's awesome.
Mention the city to someone who has been there and they think of food - especially in the neighborhood called Dotombori. We visited the city on a quick day trip from Kyoto and spent most of our time in this crazy place.

The restaurants all have wild signs designed to draw in diners.

Ask a Japanese person what Osaka is know for, and they'll say their sense of humor. Here's an example; "In Kyoto, the locals go bankrupt buying kimonos. In Osaka, the locals go broke buying food." Gotta love it!
