Not to be confused with the Amagasaki neighborhood of Osaka, Amagasaki is actually a bustling city in the southeastern region of Hyogo Prefecture with a long and storied history. The earliest mentions of the city date as far back as the end of the Heian period, and the local Amagasaki Castle was the administrative headquarters of the region during the Edo period.
As a port town, Amagasaki has always been a regional center of commerce, enterprise, and industrial activity as it has connected major cities such as Kyoto with the Western prefectures of Japan. It is still one of Japan’s leading industrial cities today and is even a part of the Hanshin Industrial Region.
