Ama site park
Ama site park is a large park the size of five Koshien Stadiums, located close to both JR Takatsuki Station and Hankyu Takatsuki-shi Station. Various events are held here throughout the year, and the park is visited by approximately 1.5 million people annually.
Basic information
The park is home to stylish cafes and restaurants, as well as large playground equipment where children can play to their heart's content, making it a relaxing place for all kinds of people. The area where the park is located was the site of a large settlement about 2,500 years ago (early Yayoi period), and many stone tools and pottery have been discovered there.
In order to pass on to future generations the fact that these precious ruins existed, an exhibition hall has been set up within the park grounds to provide an easy-to-understand and entertaining introduction to life at that time. Inside the hall, you can have fun learning about how people lived in the past through videos and replica exhibits.
