A scenic natural spot representing Takatsuki, with gorge beauty and clear streams
About this spot
A beautiful gorge carved by the Akikawa River that spreads just north of Takatsuki city center. A walking trail is well-maintained, and in summer it's crowded with families enjoying river activities. The scenic beauty of odd-shaped rocks, waterfalls, and lush greenery has been selected as one of Osaka's '50 Scenic Spots,' and this place uniquely combines excellent access from urban areas with abundant nature. It's an ideal spot to cool off during sightseeing in midsummer.

高槻城公園芸術文化劇場周辺と城北通商店街を舞台に、2026年8月1日(土)・2日(日)の2日間にわたって開催される高槻市を代表する夏祭りです。会場では地元団体によるパレードやステージイベントなど多彩な催しが行われ、街全体が祭りムードに包まれます。リニューアルされた高槻城公園の広場と、昔ながらの商店街の両方が会場となるため、新旧の高槻の魅力を同時に感じられるのも特徴です。
Tips
会場周辺は歩行者天国となり混雑するため、公共交通機関の利用がおすすめです。長時間の観覧になるため、こまめな休憩と水分補給を心がけましょう。夜は気温が下がるので薄手の羽織ものがあると安心です。
Tips
About 15 minutes by car from Imashio-Tsuka Kofun. The riverbank can be slippery, so sturdy walking shoes are safer than sandals. If you're going to play in water, bring a change of clothes.
Best time to visit
Takes about 1 hour. It's more comfortable to visit in the morning before the sun gets strong.
