Travel Guide to Izumisano City｜The Small Town at the Gateway to Kansai Airport

🏙City Impression: A blend of industry and nature on the shores of Osaka Bay Izumisano City is located in the southern part of Osaka Prefecture, adjacent to Kansai International Airport, and is an important transportation hub connecting the Kansai region. Here you can enjoy the prosperity of modern industries (such as food processing and textile industry), as well as the tranquility of the seaside park and the sense of technology of the Kansai Sky Observatory. From the shock of airplane takeoff and landing to the healing of hot spring resorts, from shopping at outlet malls to fresh cuisine at local fishing ports, this is a perfect place for travelers who want to combine short stays with in-depth exploration.
