Overview
Suita is a clean, upper-middle class suburb of Osaka popular with white-collar professionals and corporate transferees from Tokyo and the Kanto region. The Esaka area offers convenient access to central Osaka via the Midosuji subway line, making it a practical and quieter alternative to staying in the gritty downtown areas of Namba or Tennoji.
