Tokyo or Osaka? Which Should You Visit?

In my last article, I explored two of the biggest cities in the history of Japan, Tokyo and Kyoto. If you missed that post, I highly recommend you go back and read it. What if you’re not torn between Tokyo and Kyoto but Tokyo and Osaka instead? Which one should you visit?
