Yao, Urban center in Osaka Prefecture, Japan

Located in the Kansai region of Honshu, Yao spans across a territory marked by eight rivers that shape its geographical landscape.

The territory evolved from an agricultural settlement to an industrial hub during the 20th century, with silk production marking its economic transformation.

The Yao Taisha Shrine stands as a central religious monument where residents gather for seasonal festivals that maintain local traditions.

The city connects to central Osaka through multiple railway lines, with Yao Station functioning as the primary transportation hub.

Eight distinct waterways flow through the municipal territory, which influenced the naming of the city in Japanese characters.
