Osaka has its own working-class identity distinct from Tokyo's - irreverent, food-obsessed, proud of its dialect. The Edion Arena (officially Osaka Prefectural Gymnasium) sits between Namba and Tennōji in the Naniwa ward, well-placed for visitors planning to eat their way through Dōtonbori afterward.

Near the arena
