Even for trips like Osaka to Tokyo the plane is much much cheaper (we are talking about 40%-50% cheaper).

The same happened in the western parts of Japan with General Electric being the supplier to Osaka Electric Lamp.

The japanese shinkansen takes 2 hours and 22 minutes to go from Tokyo to Osaka (515 km).

Where actually it's a lot cheaper with almost no time difference to go by bus to Osaka first instead.

The profitable Tokaido Shinkansen's ridership continues to increase, with 75% of passenger trips between Osaka and Tokyo using the line.

I am sitting on the Sakura Shinkansen headed towards Shin Osaka as I read this.

Story about that clip: I was in Osaka getting wasted in a tiny bar.

By comparison, the Tokaido Shinkansen between Tokyo and Osaka has 391k passengers a day, meaning it also racks up the entire Acela corridor's yearly numbers in a week.

I noticed that about Japan as well, there was a line out the door for McDonald's when I was in Osaka a few years ago.

Your claims didn't match my recollection, so I just looked up a one-way fare from Tokyo to Osaka (6/25/2015; date randomly chosen) on the train, and on Kayak.

By August the political establishment in Japan was split, with consensus moving rapidly to peace out of the war because by mid 1945 the industrial centers of Osaka and Tokyo were ruined by fire bombings.

Obviously you can't control who you fall in love and connect with completely, but if I choose to live in Ankara or Osaka instead of London, that greatly increases the chance my kids are half-Turkish or half-Japanese.

Obviously, I should have added on "...outside of the major cities." I don't live in Tokyo/Osaka/Kyoto.

The city government of Osaka does not allow the name "Kamagasaki" to appear on official maps and discourages the use of the name in the media.

A film set in the neighborhood by director Shingo Ota which was partially financed by the city, called "Fragile", was pulled from the 2013-2014 Osaka Asian Film Festival after Ota refused to cut scenes from the film that identified the location of the community and referenced certain aspects of its culture.

There's also the momofuku instant ramen museum in Ikeda, (Osaka) where you can design and create your own instant cup ramen.

I was with my friend at a bar in Osaka, and we'd had a few.

I think the main difference is that it's not so strongly enforced in Osaka.
