Hirakata, located in Osaka Prefecture, is about halfway between the cities of Osaka and Kyoto. This city lies along the Yodo River and is significant within the Osaka-Kobe metropolitan area. During the Edo period, Hirakata became a prominent post station and river port, connecting Osaka and Kyoto. Later, with the opening of a railway in 1910, the city’s status was further cemented, becoming the vibrant city center and residential suburb we know today.
