Everything about Itami Hy Go totally explained
is a
city located in
Hyogo,
Japan.
As of
2008, the city had an estimated
population of 194,488 and a
population density of 7,790 persons per
km². The total area is 24.97 km².
The center of Itami became a wealthy town by the middle of
Sengoku period. It was named Itami-go (town of Itami) and known as the only Japanese town within a castle (usually Japanese castles were located far from domestic areas). Itami-go was a part of Castle Arioka which Araki Murashige ruled under
Oda Nobunaga. After the uprising and defeat of Araki, the castle was torn down.
Today's city was established on
November 10,
1940. Great portions of the city were damaged in the
Great Hanshin earthquake of
1995, but were quickly rebuilt.
Most of
Osaka International Airport is located in Itami (hence the common name "Itami Airport"): it's
Osaka's primary domestic airport, although all international flights and many domestic flights shifted to
Kansai International Airport in
1994. Despite the airport's association with Itami, the terminal complex in truth sits in the neighboring city of
Toyonaka, and the Itami city center is connected to the airport only by a long
tunnel that passes beneath the runway and tarmac.
The city is also famous for Koyaike Park, which features a large model of the
Japanese archipelago set in a circular pond. The park is a frequent sight for passengers on flights into Itami Airport. Moreover, Itami is one of the important
sake-brewing cities in Japan. Some historians claimed Itami was the place where seishu, clear sake, was invented.
Itami sits on the
Hankyu Railway Itami Line and the
JR Takarazuka Line (
Fukuchiyama Line).
