Amagasaki City
Amagasaki City
City Overview
In Amagasaki, a city where history and modern life harmonize, you can enjoy a historical stroll through the beautifully reconstructed Amagasaki Castle and the atmospheric Teramachi temple district. The Amako Soubei Manga Gallery, which exhibits original drawings of Rakudaininja Rantaro, the manga that inspired the popular Japanese anime Nintama Rantaro, and the “World Piggy Bank Museum,” which houses unique piggy banks from around the globe, are among the distinctive facilities you can only encounter here. In the lively shopping streets, you can savor local specialties such as the famous Amagasaki Ankake Champon, flour-based gourmet dishes, and nostalgic traditional flavors, all with the charm of a retro downtown. Amagasaki also offers excellent access—not only to Osaka and Kobe, but also directly to Kyoto and Nara without transfers, and within an hour to the three Kansai airports—making it an ideal base for sightseeing.
