[edit] Transportation

[edit] Railways

Takatsuki-shi is serviced by two train lines: JR (Japan Railway Company) and Hankyu. Many people prefer to ride on the JR line, due to the JR's cheaper fares and slightly more frequent service. According to some, there are some recent problems with the JR line, so people have been taking the Hankyu line to avoid any additional hassles. Takatsuki is one of the larger suburban cities outlying central Osaka, so almost every train stops at this station.
