Hi, I’m Tabi!

Settsu in Osaka offers preserved railway vehicles, neighborhood parks and a shrine. Hankyu Settsushi and Osaka Monorail Settsu are different stations; choose transport for your destination.

This guide covers places within Settsu, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.
