Higashinari-ku

Higashinari-ku is a compact ward east of the city centre, a mix of homes and small workshops around Imazato, Fukaebashi and Midoribashi stations. Groups typically travel from here for company outings, school events and family occasions, and the Tsuruhashi food district sits on its southern edge.

Pickup points and meeting tips

  • Imazato crossing, served by two Metro lines, is a clear landmark for meeting on a main road.
  • For small factories and offices, give the building name and whether a vehicle can pull off the street.
  • Family pickups from homes in narrow lanes are easier at the nearest main-road corner.

Vehicle access

Morning and evening traffic on the main east–west roads can be slow. Vans suit door-side pickups; coaches need a main-road stop agreed in advance.

Allow time for morning city traffic near major intersections.

Luggage

Light luggage is typical for outings; for airport transfers from homes, a HiAce gives room for suitcases without a coach.
