The purpose of this blog is provide a picture of Hirakata, the home to overseas students studying at Kansai Gaidai University. It is created with the purpose of providing infomation that is omitted in the Kansai Gaidai prospectus, or brochure. While ample information is provided on Osaka and Kyoto, these two cities remain separate from Hirakata. Although they are easily accessable by train from the station down in the centre of Hirakata City, the City of Hirakata is inevitably where residents spend the majority of their time, shopping for groceries, etc. and supporting themselves, and also going out after 11pm, since the trains stop running at night.
The three pictures below are those in the 'Location' section of the Kansai Gaidai website. The first is the picture they provide of Osaka, they second of Kyoto, and the thrid of Nara.
There are no pictures of Hirakata City in the prospectus.
The pictures here are by no means all encompassing as a complete portrait of the city. However, they are intended to provide a fair image of Hirakata where Kansai Gaidai provides none.

Really enjoyed your post. Am weighing-up a job opportunity in Hirakata, and your photos give a unique perspective on the place compared to other sites I've visisted. Well done!
