InterNations — A Community for American Expats in Osaka

Hello to all Americans in Osaka! Are you interested in getting to know fellow expats in Osaka? Looking for advice from other Americans, e.g. wondering if there are any bars in Osaka which will be showing your favorite baseball or American football team’s upcoming match or where to go in town for st■ turkey?

There’s no doubt about it: as one of Japan’s major financial centers, Osaka is a popular destination not only among expats. The large metropolis is a sprawling city known for being home to Panasonic and Sharp, as well as the Osaka Securities Exchange, but also for its delicious food, historic sites including Osaka Castle, and much more! With the extensive railway network connecting all of Greater Osaka as well as the city’s subway and bus services, navigating your way around the city from one place to the next is simple. This also means that if you don’t want to live among the hustle and bustle of the center, you can enjoy a quieter life in Minoo or Ibaraki City, for example, which are up to an hour train ride away from Osaka’s center.

Although Osaka has lots to offer, you might be wondering where and how you can meet other Americans in the city. Luckily, InterNations is here to make this easier for you! You’re warmly invited to join the InterNations community. Within our international network in Osaka, there’s a vibrant circle of American expats from all regions of USA, including New York City, Los Angeles, and beyond.
