OSAKA BUSINESS PARK

Osaka Business Park is a district of Osaka located close to Osaka Castle with many skyscrapers.

Osaka Business Park (normally referred to as OBP by the locals) is a business district covering 26 hectares on the site of the former Osaka Ordnance Works. Osaka Business Park is located in Shiromi, Chuo-ku, Osaka, Japan. This is directly North East of Osaka Castle. Osaka Business Park is serviced by the Osaka Subway (Osaka Business Park Station) and the JR Kyobashi Station.

While first proposed by in 1964, Osaka Business Park did not really start until 1984 with the official reassignment of the land. Construction work began shortly after with the first buildings being completed in 1986. Today, the Osaka Business Park (OBP) is one of Osaka's primary skyscraper clusters, creating a stunning backdrop to the nearby landmark Osaka Castle.

OBP is not just for businesses but for entertainment such as a 5-star hotel, concert hall, theater and extensive shopping, including International Market Place (IMP) with more than 60 restaurants and shops featuring goods from all over the world.
