Mayor of Takatsuki CityMessage
In the north of Takatsuki City, sit the spectacular Hokusetsu Mountains and towards the south, the rich and breathtaking flow of the Yodogawa River. In the middle of the war in 1943, on the first of January, Takatsuki was named the ninth city in Osaka Prefecture with a population of more than 30,000 people. It was a city covered with neat and graceful rural scenery, Later, housing sites were developed in various parts of the city as the population grew repidly in the 1960's. In 2003, with stronger emphasis on local autonomy and to provide goverment services at a level as close to the residents as possible Takatsuki was designated as the second Core City in Osaka Prefecture. Our population has excceded 350,000 people and it is a fast developing city in Osaka
The City's vision in the 21st century, the theme of the fourth Takatsuki Master Plan for our city Planning and construction, is
“Conpassionate・Water & Green Living・A Cultured City.” We aim to achieve health, happiness, creativity, humanity as well as a city with distinctive qualities.
