Takayasu

Takayasu is a residential district on the eastern side of Yao that blends modern apartment buildings with small shops and family homes. The area has a straightforward layout with wide roads, neighborhood parks, and mixed-use developments scattered throughout.

The district transformed from a small farming community into a major residential area starting in the 1960s as the Osaka metropolitan region expanded rapidly. This quick growth shaped how the neighborhood looks and functions today.

The district maintains several neighborhood associations that organize regular community gatherings and seasonal festivals throughout the year.

Several bus routes connect the district to central Yao and surrounding neighborhoods. Convenience stores, supermarkets, and health clinics are spread throughout, making daily shopping and medical services easy to find.

The district includes multiple educational facilities and maintains green spaces that serve as recreational areas for the local population.
