Takatsuki

Takatsuki sits on the Osaka Plain in Osaka Prefecture, Japan, where the urban corridor between Kyoto and Osaka meets the foothills of the Hokusetsu Mountains. Its position on major rail routes makes it a practical base between two of Japan’s leading cities, while northern districts rise into wooded terrain. Imashirozuka Kofun, a large sixth-century keyhole-shaped burial mound, is closely associated with Emperor Keitai; its archaeological park includes reconstructions of haniwa clay figures. Settsukyo Gorge, carved by the Akutagawa River in the city’s north, adds a markedly different setting to the built-up plain.
