Good to know
- Amagasaki Castle's keep was rebuilt in 2018 with over 1 billion yen from the founder of an electronics chain, who gave it to the city.
- Amagasaki borders Osaka City and even shares its 06 phone area code, so it's an easy base for Osaka and Kobe.
- The Hanshin and JR lines both run through the city, with fast trains to Umeda and Kobe.
