About the Hyogo Hokusetsu region

The Hokusetsu region of Hyogo is composed of four cities and one town: Itami City, which is the gateway to Osaka International Airport (Itami Airport), Takarazuka City, Kawanishi City, Sanda City, and Inagawa Town. In this region, which is also close to such large cities as Osaka and Kobe, mature urban areas and mountainous and/or agricultural areas surrounded by rich nature coexist. Filled with diverse attractions, such as its historical culture as the birthplace of the Seiwa Genji, food & drink culture, including its distinction as the birthplace of sake, townscape culture in which the atmosphere of old roads has been retained, and satoyama culture, which is considered Japan’s original landscape, visitors can casually experience Japan’s nature and traditional culture.
