I live about 10 minutes outside of Osaka for three years. I like the Kansai area more than Tokyo as there are many different flavors to the Kansai area.

To make a sweeping generalization, I find Kansai people more open, talkative, and most conversations are humor-filled. Some Kansai people cannot not constantly make jokes.

Overall Tokyo is probably a little cleaner than Osaka, but actually Osaka has been getting cleaned up better in recent years.

I prefer the food in Osaka rather than Tokyo as well.

To make a comparison, Tokyo is like L.A. No one is from Tokyo, but many people move there. Osaka, on the other hand, is like New York. There are generations of neighborhood pride established.
