Evidence snapshot for Osaka
Two major social-service innovations have emerged in Osaka. With You Osaka opened in October 2025 as a prefecture-run 24-hour centre for sexual-assault survivors, building on the earlier NPO-run SACHICO pilot (2010–2025), which recorded 12,036 total visits and a 3.7-fold increase in initial medical examinations between 2010 and 2021. Mirairo Inc., founded in Osaka in 2010, grew into a publicly listed accessibility business with 4,200+ partner businesses and 600,000+ app users as of April 2026. The evidence quantifies outcomes for sexual-assault services and disability-access adoption but does not capture the relative scale or integration of these initiatives within Osaka's broader social ecosystem.
