    "body": "## Administrative status\n\nOsaka City is the capital of [[place_japan_pref_osaka|Osaka Prefecture]], [[place_japan_country|Japan]], in the Kansai region. Osaka City and Osaka Prefecture are separate administrative entities.[^wikidata][^official]\n\n## City overview\n\nThe city lies on the northeastern shore of Osaka Bay and is a major commercial, transport and cultural centre of the Kansai region. It is divided into multiple wards, with waterways, port areas, business districts and shopping areas shaping its urban landscape.[^official]\n\n## Guide and place scope\n\nIn dining guides and travel contexts, “Osaka” may refer to Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture or the wider Kansai region. Restaurant records should follow the establishment’s address and distinguish the city’s wards from other municipalities in the prefecture.\n\n## 2025 MICHELIN Guide\n\nThe Osaka portion of the 2025 MICHELIN Guide Kyoto and Osaka lists 3 Three-Star, 11 Two-Star and 65 One-Star restaurants, 59 Bib Gourmand selections and 93 other selected restaurants. Osaka has 3 Green Star restaurants. The two-city edition lists 469 restaurants in total and 13 Green Stars; Green Stars may overlap with other distinctions.
