Osaka is the heart of Japan-Taiwan exchange in the Kansai region. The Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Osaka, Hankyu Railway, Hanshin Department Store, and Daimaru Matsuzakaya frequently collaborate on Taiwan product fairs and Taiwan Month events. Independent cinemas in Namba, Shinsaibashi and Umeda (Cine Libre Umeda, Theatre Seven) regularly screen Taiwanese films. The annual Taiwan Festa draws large crowds from the local Taiwanese diaspora.
