Living in Abeno

Its distinguishing feature is that the redeveloped eastern area packed with Abeno Harukas and Q's Mall, and the western area leading to one of Osaka's leading upscale educational residential districts such as Tezukayama, coexist within one ward. Rents are reasonable relative to access to the city center, and while public safety is mid-ranked within the city, it consists mostly of petty crimes such as bicycle theft, so it is not a major worry.

This is a redeveloped residential and commercial area adjoining Tennoji, served by the Osaka Metro Midosuji and Tanimachi lines and the Hankai Tramway. Large commercial facilities such as Abeno Harukas and Q's Mall have greatly improved daily convenience, and with its clean living environment and easy transit, it is popular with families and office workers. Rents are rising along with its growing popularity, which you should keep in mind. It suits people who want both access to the Tennoji city center and a well-kept residential environment.
