Higashinari-ku

Higashinari-ku spans 4.55 square kilometers with numerous small enterprises, parks, and residential zones connected by multiple transportation networks and commercial districts.

The incorporation of Higashinari-ku into Osaka occurred on April 1, 1925, followed by territorial divisions in 1932 and 1943 that formed Asahi-ku, Joto-ku, and Ikuno-ku.

The ward contains multiple Shinto shrines, including Yasaka shrine from 1017 and Hachioji shrine from 273, which preserve religious traditions and architectural heritage.

Residents access services through the ward office counter, which manages administrative procedures and provides information about emergency evacuation areas and community resources.

Despite being one of the smallest wards after boundary changes, Higashinari-ku maintains the fourth highest population density among all Osaka wards.
