Hirakata is a city in Osaka. Begin with the river-travel and road history of Hirakata-juku. Check the approach to Kagiya Museum from Keihan Hirakata-koen Station and your return.

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

Check actual distances and travel times on the map. This suggested walk is separate from your app movement record.

Before you set off
