The Okawa River, a tributary of the Yodo River, splits into the Dojima River and the Tosabori River around Tenmabashi Bridge. “Nakanoshima”, the symbolic island of the water city, Osaka, is located in the middle of the Dojima River. Nakanoshima, located in the heart of Osaka City while still surrounded by rivers and greenery, is home to a concentration of Osaka's representative buildings and historical structures, including the Osaka City Hall, Osaka City Central Public Hall, the Bank of Japan Osaka Branch, and the Osaka International Convention Center. Many buildings that will serve as Osaka's cultural and artistic center, such as the Osaka Science Museum, the National Museum of Art, Osaka, and the Nakanoshima Museum of Art, Osaka, are also located in this area, with the goal of creating a world-class cultural attraction.
Various redevelopment projects are underway in the western area, and the international center for future medical care, “Nakanoshima Qross”, opened in 2024. Surrounded by the Dojima and Tosabori Rivers, this area is expected to develop further in the future.
The Yodoyabashi area serves as Kansai’s preeminent business district with the head offices of Osaka’s most recognized companies such as Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, Sumitomo Chemical, Osaka Gas, and Shionogi Pharmaceutical as well as Osaka City Hall and the buildings of related institutions lining along Midosuji Avenue, which runs through it north-to-south. The economic center of Osaka, Yodoyabashi’s townscape is maintained through public ordinances, and the harmoniously-balanced buildings and mixture of water, greenery, and historic cultural properties make it a truly beautiful site. Since multipurpose buildings like Yodoyabashi Mitsui Building, which houses "Yodoyabashi Odona" commercial facility, and a rich array of shops and restaurants, this area is also incredibly convenient for living. And in recent years, development projects have been started not only for high rises for offices but also for residences, adding to the area’s potential to become a center for living as well as business.
Yodoyabashi is accessible on Osaka Metro Midosuji Line and serves as the terminal for Keihan Railways, which connects Osaka to Kyoto. A docking point for the ‘Suijo’ aquatic buses is also located nearby at Yodoyabashi Port, further adding to the areas exceptional accessibility.
