Osaka, on the Osaka Bay in the Kinki region, has been Japan's commercial and mercantile capital since the Naniwa period of the fifth century, its merchant culture expressed in the concept of shonindo — the way of the merchant — whose emphasis on practical intelligence, generosity, and commercial acumen shaped the city's distinctive character and its position as the financial centre of pre-modern Japan. Osaka Tennozenji Onsen draws on chloride-rich thermal waters from deep geological formations beneath the Osaka urban basin, offering warm restorative baths in the greater Osaka metropolitan area where the Tennoji district's traditional culture of Shitenno-ji Temple — the oldest Buddhist temple in Japan, founded by Prince Shotoku in 593 AD — the Tsutenkaku tower, and the Shin-Sekai working-class entertainment quarter create a historically layered spa setting. The Shitennoji Temple's ancient precincts and monthly flea markets, the Tsutenkaku tower and Shin-Sekai retro entertainment area, and the Tennoji Park and Osaka City Museum of Fine Arts create an appealingly historic and culturally rich spa destination in the ancient Tennoji district of Osaka.
