Kawanishi, Urban center in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan.

The city covers 53.44 square kilometers between the Inagawa River and Osaka Itami Airport, with a population density of 2900 persons per kilometer.

The territory evolved from ancient Kawabe District of Settsu Province, containing Yayoi period settlements and kofun burial mounds within current city limits.

The Tada-in site holds importance for the Seiwa Genji clan, following Minamoto no Mitsunaka's retirement to this location during the Heian period.

Transportation links include JR Takarazuka Line, Hankyu Takarazuka Line, Shin-Meishin Expressway, and National Routes 173, 176, and 477 for regional connectivity.
