In the neighboring area to Amako Soubei Manga Gallery, visitors can feel the local history and culture at the rebuilt Amagasaki Castle, and in the Teramachi district in which 11 temples are located. Visitors can also enjoy the distinct, nostalgic atmosphere of traditional downtown while strolling along the vibrant shopping street.
With its historical background as a city of monozukuri (an industrial city), Amagasaki offers some good locations to enjoy factory night views, drawing attention as one of the highlights of night tours.
By train, Amagasaki offers good access to Osaka, Kobe and Kyoto taking about 10 minutes, 20 minutes and 35 minutes to reach them, respectively. It is also located within an hour’s train ride from three airports in the Kansai Region, thereby serving as a strategic tourist hub.
