Located within 30 minutes from JR Osaka Station and with enhanced business support functions, the area of Cosmosquare is the location of many advanced technology development-related companies, as well as convention, cultural and amenity facilities, such as Intex Osaka (an international exhibition center), the World Trade Center, the Asia and Pacific Trade Center and fine hotels. In addition, based on a concept of waterfront town development, new waterfront facilities, such as "Seaside Cosmo" (a green district on the beach of Cosmosquare which takes advantage of its long water-frontage extending east and west) and "Sakishima Canal," have been constructed in the area, developing it into a convenient town, together with cultural facilities in the area, such as "Osaka Maritime Museum".
