Osaka makes Top 10 for the World's Most Liveable Cities list

The World's Most Liveable Cities list for 2023 was released earlier this week, and I was pleasantly surprised to see Osaka make the top 10. I've only been there a handful of times, but found it to be a pleasant city in terms of things to do, ease of getting around, climate, and so forth.

The full top 10 were as follows:

1. Vienna, Austria

2. Copenhagen, Denmark

3. Melbourne, Australia

4. Sydney, Australia

5. Vancouver, Canada

6. Zurich, Switzerland

7. Calgary, Canada

7. Geneva, Switzerland

9. Toronto, Canada

10. Osaka, Japan

Are there any cities in Japan you think would be worthy of being one of the world's most liveable cities? What criteria would you include? How do you feel about Osaka making the top 10, and if you live there do you feel like it's a justified rating?
