Takaishi City's Factory Night Views

Overview

Takaishi City's factory night views are a fantastical display of light and shadow created by the factories in the Sakai Senboku Coastal Industrial Zone, facing Osaka Bay. The sheer scale and the continuous panorama viewed from the Hanshin Expressway Bay Shore Line are captivating. The factories lining the bay, their reflections shimmering on the water, create a breathtaking scene, like islands of light floating on the surface. The intricate pipework and plants visible up close resemble futuristic structures, their complex designs awe-inspiring. The unusual view of the factories and expressway separated by a waterway is unique to Takaishi City. From the walkway along the Hamadera Canal in Hamadera Park, you can enjoy a picturesque scene with the Hanshin Expressway Bay Shore Line running in front of the factories, separated by the canal. Because this viewpoint is outside the industrial area, it's relatively easy to access. Takaishi's factory night views reveal a completely different side to the city at night—a true work of art. Its beauty is almost impossible to capture in photographs; you have to see it to believe it.
