Living in Nagai

The southern part of Sumiyoshi Ward, rich in greenery and sports infrastructure, with Nagai Park attached to the station holding an athletics stadium, a botanical garden, the natural history museum and Cerezo Osaka's home ground. West of the station spread retro shopping streets and quiet residential areas. The Midosuji Line reaches Namba and Umeda without a transfer, yet it is clearly cheaper than the city center, so it suits people who want both access and comfort.

This is a park-side residential area in the south, served by the JR Hanwa Line and the Osaka Metro Midosuji Line. With Nagai Park and its stadium and botanical garden beside it, greenery is abundant, and the Midosuji Line gives good access to Tennoji and Namba while rents are reasonable, making it popular with families. There are few entertainment districts, so it tends to be somewhat quiet. It suits families who want both access to the city center and a pleasant green environment.
