Almost every time I've been approached by a friendly, curious, Japanese person, they've been from Osaka. Regardless of age or gender, they are definitely the most outgoing and gaijin-friendly people in Japan. While we're on the subject of Osaka stories, about 5 years ago in February I was walking with friends near the "Running Man" bridge in Shinsaibashi. Probably around 1am, and cold. A taxi pulls up close to the bridge....the driver pops the trunk, a passenger joins him at the rear of the vehicle....and they took a PASSED OUT Japanese dude outta the taxi's trunk and just laid him on the concrete. He didn't even have a shirt on. They reached in the trunk and threw a shoe at him. Then the taxi left. We're just standing there in awe thinking "No shirt, shoes off, probably drunk and lying on cold concrete in February? That dude is gonna die of hypothermia and whoever dropped him off doesn't seem to give 2 shits....man Osaka is wild." Not surprising as this is about 2 blocks from the parking lot where all the yakuza park their exotics[1]. Look at that building in Street View and even in daytime there's a yellow exotic parked there. [1] https://goo.gl/maps/dyPU7rzM5QbkLtTEA https://goo.gl/maps/dyPU7rzM5QbkLtTEA
