My Trip to Japan

Kyoto is a wonderful city located in the central part of Japan. It has a population close to 1.5 million. It's a very historical city, it was formerly the imperial capital of Japan, it is now the capital of Kyoto Prefecture, as well as a major part of the Osaka-Kobe-Kyoto metropolitan area.

When I arrived to Japan I landed to Nagoya, located on the Pacific coast. Nagoya is one of Japan's major ports along with those of Tokyo, Osaka, Kobe, Yokohama, Chiba, and Hakata. It is also the center of Japan's third largest metropolitan region, known as the Chūkyō Metropolitan Area. It's a very big and modern city, full of shops, attractions, temples, gardens..

Osaka is the second largest city in Japan, it has historically been the commercial capital of Japan. Today many major companies have moved their main offices to Tokyo. However, several major companies—such as Panasonic, Sharp, and Sanyo—are still have their main business in Osaka. The city of Osaka has its west side open to Osaka Bay, whose port connects the region to the western part of Japan. The huge port is a clear evidence of political-power concentration.

Tokyo was described by Saskia Sassen as one of the three "command centers" for the world economy, along with London and New York City.
