Official websiteOsaka Prefecture page
Takatsuki City is a core city (a mid-sized city with expanded powers) exactly halfway between Kyoto and Osaka, and its emblem combines the emblems of both cities. It has many kofun, such as Imashirozuka Kofun, said to be the true tomb of Emperor Keitai, and the history of Akutagawayama Castle and the castle town of Takatsuki Castle remains. Farming villages spread in the northern mountains, and the city calls itself "tokainaka" (city-countryside).
