Difference and Similarity

So based on what I see in the pictures both Kyoto and Osaka are alike as you can that they have both shrines, and castles etc. It's just that Osaka is more modern than Kyoto because the city is more in the country side since it has a lot of shrines and parks than Osaka. However if you go to the time travel machine, which obviously doesn't exist yet, and travel to the 1700s or earlier you wouldn't know the difference between the two cities, heck you would probably think that is a one big city!
