⑥ More information on the locations I’ve visited in this video:
▶ Toyonaka / 豊中市 (from Wikipedia)
Toyonaka (豊中市, Toyonaka-shi) is a city in Osaka Prefecture, Japan. The city was founded on October 15, 1936.
As of 2016, the city has an estimated population of 396,014 and a population density of 11,000 persons per km². The total area is 36.38 km².[citation needed] Its peak population was over 420,000.
Toyonaka is a residential area of Osaka Prefecture, and includes Senri New Town.
The city is easy to reach through various modes of transportation, and many of its residents commute daily into Osaka City to work. Osaka University and Osaka Music College have their campuses in Toyonaka.
The Harada Shinto shrine is located in Toyonaka, adjacent to the Hankyu Okamachi station. Founded during the reign of the Emperor Tenmu (672-686), the wooden shrine was rebuilt in 1652 and again in 1781. An important cultural property, it is known for its copse of camphor trees and it is the site of the popular Lion Festival each October.
The Consulate-General of Russia in Osaka is located in Toyonaka.
Osaka International Airport is partially located in Toyonaka including its terminal, although it is more commonly associated with the city of Itami.
The city is served by the Osaka Monorail (Senri-Chūō Station, Shōji Station, Shibahara Station, Hotarugaike Station and Osaka Airport Station), the Kita-Osaka Kyūkō Railway (Senri-Chūō Station and Ryokuchi-kōen Station) and the Hankyu Takarazuka Line (Shōnai Station, Hattori-tenjin Station, Sone Station, Okamachi Station, Toyonaka Station and Hotarugaike Station). It is the second-largest city in Japan to lack service by any JR company, after Toyota.
Hankyu bus provides local bus service throughout Toyonaka and into neighboring cities. Most services connect with railway stations, especially Senri Chuo and Toyonaka. Some medium- and long-distance highway bus services are available from Senri Chuo and Osaka Airport.
▶ Hattori (translated from Wikipedia)
Hattori Motomachi is a district of Toyonaka City, Osaka Prefecture, Japan. It is located in the central and southern part of Toyonaka City. Hattori borders the Tenjiku River to the east and the Hanshin expressway in the west. To the south it borders Shonai and to the north Senri.
Todays Hattori-Tenjin Shrine is said to be the oldest shrine in Hattori and that it was home to settlers of the Hata Clan. Hankyu Hattori-Tenjin station was opened in 1910. The slight curve in the route of the Hankyu Takarazuka Main Line operating there today was constructed to build a train station near the shrine.
East and West of Hattori-Tenjin station, the shopping district and centre of Hattori is located – Hattori Nishimachi. Many public food chains have stores here and local stores are found here as well.
The cityscape of Hattori is marked by many narrow and curvy roads similar to that of a castle town.
Due to Toyonaka City growing quickly with the economic growth of Osaka and Kansai region, city planning issues are very present nowadays. Streets and especially trains are always crowded and have reached their capacity.
