Osaka is good for business and the people are openminded and not as shy as most other Japanese cities. That's why non-Japanese go there: not for its beauty, but for the people and the business.

Kyoto and Nara are beautiful. And it doesn't smell terrible there unlike Paris. Gotta agree with you that Rome is a great city, but definitely not the prettiest city in Italy.

"I'm not comparing, since they're UNcomaprable! Osaka is utterly ugly and Paris and Roma are not. that's the point!"

You are missing the point you're trying to make.
