Greetings from the Mayor　市長あいさつ

Greetings everyone, I am Mayor Kamimura.

Thank you for taking the time to view Kyotanabe’s city website.

      Kyotanabe is located in midway from Kyoto, Osaka, and Nara, giving it a perfect balance between excellent transportation convenience and abundant nature. Due to its location and emphasis on child-rearing support, our population of over 70,000 (according to the 2015 census) continues to increase.

       On one hand, as the former home to the ancient Tsutsuki Palance, Kyotanabe is a city where ancient cultures and traditions persist. Meanwhile, it also plays a part in the development of various corporations including Doshisha University, Doshsisha Women’s University, and the Kansai Science City, which boasts cutting edge technology. Because of this, Kyotanabe has its own unique culture hat fuses together old and new traditions along with intellectual resources.

       Furthermore, with the opening of the new addition to the Shin-Meishin Expressway, making it a focal point in the expressway network, as well as the establishment of a new station in Kyotanabe along the Hokuriku Shinkansen line, our city continues to develop with great potential for the future.

      This homepage provides information on the latest city information, resources for daily life in Kyotanabe, seasonal event information, and much more to citizens and those interested in the city. We strive to continue providing quick and easy-to-understand information and hope that you will utilize this website as a resource for administrative and informational needs.

      I will continue to strongly promote community development that is aimed toward promoting our city's image as a "verdant and wholesome rural city" as well as my ideal policy of creating a "town where everyone wants to line in indefinitely." Thank you all for your support and cooperation.
