Kadoma, Administrative city in Osaka Prefecture, Japan.
Description
Kadoma is an administrative city in Osaka Prefecture, Japan, that spans a relatively compact area in the east-central part of the prefecture. The Furukawa River runs through the center of the urban area, dividing residential and commercial districts into different sections.
History
The area was part of early settlements in Kawachi Province during the Yayoi period and developed through agriculture and craftsmanship. During the Edo Period, the Tokugawa shogunate took direct control of the region, marking a shift toward a more integrated administrative structure.
Culture
The city name derives from the traditional gate (Kado-Mon) that once served as an entrance to the region's agricultural lands. In the residential neighborhoods, people move between older wooden houses and modern apartment blocks, while commercial zones are marked by factories and office buildings.
Practical
Stations from Keihan Electric Railway, Osaka Metro, and Osaka Monorail provide connections in different directions, making it easy for visitors to reach central Osaka and neighboring communities. Most public facilities and shops are within walking distance of the train stations, which simplifies movement without a car.
