Voice of area responsible
When I'm in charge of Ikeda City, I often hear people say, ``Although it has good access to Osaka city, it's quiet and easy to live in.'' If you use the Hankyu Takarazuka Line, you can get to Umeda in about 20 minutes, making commuting a breeze. On the other hand, there are many places where you can enjoy nature, such as Satsukiyama Park and walking courses along the Inagawa River, providing an environment where you can forget the hustle and bustle of the city. Furthermore, there are commercial facilities and restaurants around Ikeda Station, ensuring convenience for daily life. This area is recommended for those who want to live in a calm environment while still having access to the city center.
Ikeda City is easily accessible from Osaka City in about 20 minutes by train, and is an area that is attracting attention as a casual weekend destination. Satsukiyama Park is a spot rich in nature with an animal interaction plaza, observation deck, and hiking trails, perfect for a relaxing day.
The nearby Satsukiyama Zoo is known as a free zoo where you can see rare animals such as wombats and wallabies, and although it is compact, it is worth seeing.
Speaking of Ikeda City, you can't miss Cup Noodles Museum Osaka Ikeda. The hands-on museum where you can make your own original cup noodles is a popular spot among adults, and is also recommended for outings with friends.
Ikeda Castle Ruins Park is a spot where you can enjoy the scenery while feeling the history of Ikeda City, and the beauty of each season, such as cherry blossoms in spring and autumn leaves, is also attractive. There are cafes with a retro atmosphere and Japanese sweets shops in front of the station, so you can enjoy eating while walking around town.
