Takatsuki Jazz Street was launched in 1999 with the aim of making Takatsuki a fun town filled with music. It is held for two days every year during Golden Week, and will celebrate its 25th anniversary in 2023. It is one of Japan's largest handmade music events, with admission to all venues free.

This is an experiential tourism program that allows you to discover new charms of Takatsuki, a city filled with nature, history, gourmet food, art, and more, not just by "seeing" its many attractions, but by interacting with local people and "experiencing" them. We offer a variety of activities, including walking around the town, harvesting experiences, Zen meditation and sutra copying at temples, eating and cooking special menus at local restaurants, tours of factories and sake breweries, and accessories-making experiences.

Minase Shrine was founded in 1240 (the first year of the Ninji era) when the retired Emperor Gotoba, who died in Oki during the Jokyu Incident, was enshrined at the site of his former villa, in accordance with an imperial decree. Minase Shrine is home to many cultural assets, including the Guest Hall, a nationally designated Important Cultural Property. The grounds of Minase Shrine are also home to the "Rikyu no Mizu," the only water in Osaka Prefecture selected as one of the Ministry of the Environment's 100 Famous Waters, making it a symbolic spot for Hommachi where the water is so clean and delicious.

The tea house (Toshinseki), an Important Cultural Property [formerly a National Treasure], has been open to the public since October 2025 (advance reservations required), but the interior of the reception hall, also an Important Cultural Property [formerly a National Treasure], will be specially opened to the public in conjunction with the after-sales campaign.
