Osaka Kita is one of the 24 districts of Osaka. It is especially marked by the locals in his rivalry with Osaka Minami, and has been for a long time. Today, it has become a business district with many shops and restaurants, especially around Umeda, its most emblematic district. Osaka’s aptly named railway station is located in the centre of Osaka, in the middle of seven other stations. These stations handle more than 2.5 million passengers a day.
