Outline

Nigawa is one of the districts developed in the early stages of the development of the area along the Hankyu Imazu Line in the 1930s. This beautiful district has also been well known as a district where rich people, including presidents of major companies, sport managers and players, artists, or university professors in the Osaka Metropolitan Area live. However, during the Great Hanshin earthquake in 1995, this district was heavily damaged and the aging of the population has started to change the atmosphere around the district.
