Area around Kawanishi Bus Terminal

There was a large bus terminal on the northern side of the Hankyu Railway Kawanishi-Noseguchi station. It took up 1,760m² in space, and functioned as a key transportation hub for the people to go in the direction of Seiwadai and other areas.
The same place is nowadays occupied by commercial buildings. With the transfer of the railway station, the bus terminal was divided and placed at the two different sites: on the northern side of the Hankyu Railway station; and on the eastern side of the JR Kawanishi-Ikeda station.

Imatsuji Crossing

"Imatsuji Crossing" is the crossing point of Route 176 and the Kawanishi-Itami Route.
Aste-Kawanishi, a big shopping complex, is located on the northern-west side of this crossing.
