Osaka Map Art

Osaka's map centers on the Yodo River, which splits the city into distinct halves before emptying into Osaka Bay to the south. The castle sits on raised ground in the northwest, with the Dotonbori district's dense grid of streets and canals forming a tight knot to the east, while Umeda's rail hub clusters where multiple lines converge in the north. A ring of waterways—the old moats and canals of the castle town—still traces the medieval boundaries that shaped the city's neighborhoods.
