It is approximately 30 km and about an hour from central Osaka. The town is divided into an eastern area, which retains a traditional rural landscape, and a western area, characterized by residential districts with excellent access via the Nose Electric Railway. The town is known for its cool climate, said to be nearly 5 degrees Celsius lower than downtown Osaka, which is ideal for cultivating specialty crops like Takayama Mana, Takayama Gobou, and Yacon. The town offers various support programs for residents, including housing purchase subsidies, renovation grants, relocation expense support, and childcare support.
An interesting fact about the area is its connection to the sacred Mount Myoken, a center for North Star worship, which shapes the local cultural landscape. For a major tourist attraction, residents and visitors can explore the scenic trails and spiritual sites around the revered Mount Myoken (Nose Myokenzan), a famous mountain and pilgrimage destination.
