Moving to Suita City

Q: What should I know first about moving to Suita?

Immediately north of Osaka City, 6.3 kilometres east to west and 9.6 kilometres north to south, an area of 36.09 square kilometres is home to 387,720 people. The city writes that "the north is the gently rolling Senri Hills, 20 to 116 metres above sea level, and the south is low ground about 10 metres up", so within one city the ground divides in two.

Q: Which part of Suita should I live in?

It comes down to living on the low ground or living on the hills. The median runs from ¥32,800,000 in the centre and the south to ¥120,000,000 in the northern Senri Hills, and the median plot from 52 to 274 square metres.

Q: How long does it take from Suita to Hommachi in Osaka?

🔴 16 minutes and ¥290 from Esaka, with 0 transfers. Umeda is 11 minutes and ¥240, and Shin-Osaka 4 minutes. JR Suita to Osaka is 10 minutes and ¥200, and Minami-Suita to Shin-Osaka 2 minutes, both without changing.

Summer is clearly hot, with an August daily maximum of 33.8C, 16.3 days a year above 35C (Tokyo 4.8) and 29.6 tropical nights. Winter has 0.0 days below freezing all day, so no snow shovel is needed. 🔴 There is no AMeDAS station measuring temperature inside Suita City, so these are the figures for the observatory in Toyonaka City immediately to the west.

CHAPTER 01First, what kind of place Suita is

In the north of Osaka Prefecture. It borders Osaka City to the south, Toyonaka City to the west, Minoh City to the north and Ibaraki City and Settsu City to the east, and measures 6.3 kilometres east to west and 9.6 kilometres north to south, with an area of 36.09 square kilometres. The city writes: "The north, backed by the Hokusetsu range, is the gently rolling Senri Hills, 20 to 116 metres above sea level; the south is low ground about 10 metres up, formed by the Ai, Kanzaki and Yodo rivers." The elevations of the houses on the market spread from 1.8 to 85.1 metres as well.

The city was born from the merger of four towns and villagesOn 1 April Showa 15 (1940), Suita Town, Senri Village and Kishibe Village in Mishima District, together with Toyotsu Village in Toyono District, merged to create Suita City. In June Showa 20 the Suita marshalling yard, the area around Suita Station, Toyotsu and part of Katayama-cho were bombed. After the war the Shimoshinden district of Shinden Village and Yamada Village, both in Mishima District, were merged in, fixing almost the present city boundary, and the city writes that this area "became the foundation of a new era as Senri New Town, the Expo site and university land". It became a core city in April Reiwa 2 (2020).

The new town and the Expo made this city bigThe project plan for Senri New Town was announced in Showa 35 (1960), and residents began moving into the Satakedai district in Showa 37 (1962). In Showa 40 (1965) it was decided that the Expo would be held here, and the extension of the Subway Midosuji Line took shape; the Expo of March Showa 45 (1970) drew 64,210,000 visitors. The Chugoku Expressway and the Suita interchange on the Meishin Expressway were also built for that Expo. The city tree is the camphor and the city flower the satsuki azalea.

The site of a marshalling yard once called "the largest in the East" is today's KentoThe city explains that today's North Osaka Health and Medical Town ("Kento") stands where "the Suita marshalling yard, once said to be the largest in the East" used to be, and that it came to the end of its role in Showa 59 (1984). On the site, Suita Municipal Hospital moved in in Heisei 30 (2018) and the National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center in Reiwa 1 (2019). Minami-Suita Station on the JR Osaka Higashi Line opened in March Heisei 31 (2019), and Suita City Football Stadium was completed in Heisei 27 (2015).

You can zoom and pan. The marker is Suita City Hall (Izumi-cho 1-chome). The JR Kyoto Line, the Hankyu Kyoto Line and the Osaka Metro Midosuji Line (Esaka) run through the lower ground to the south, and the higher land to the north-east is the Senri Hills, with Senri New Town and the Expo Commemoration Park.

What should I know first about moving to Suita?

Immediately north of Osaka City, 6.3 kilometres east to west and 9.6 kilometres north to south, an area of 36.09 square kilometres is home to 387,720 people. The city writes that "the north is the gently rolling Senri Hills, 20 to 116 metres above sea level, and the south is low ground about 10 metres up", so within one city the ground divides in two.

CHAPTER 02Four areas, and life in each

Choosing an area in Suita means choosing between the low ground and the hills. Sorting the 218 houses by address gives four groups, with medians from ¥32,800,000 to ¥120,000,000 and median plots from 52 to 274 square metres - the market looks so different that it is hard to believe it is one city.

The centre and the south (Suita, Minami-Suita, Esaka) - the most listings and the most affordable86 houses (¥8,800,000-¥75,800,000, median ¥32,800,000). Elevation 2.1-32.6 m (median 4.1 m), the lowest belt in the city. Nearest stations: Suita 61, Minami-Suita 13, Esaka 4. Median build year 1997.
Who it suits = anyone who wants to reach the centre by the Midosuji Line, JR or the Osaka Higashi Line / anyone keeping the budget down
What to watch = the median plot is 52 m², the smallest market of the four. And because this is low ground 2 to 5 metres above sea level, always check the flood and inland-flooding assumptions for the exact address (§5)

Along the JR Kyoto Line (Kishibe, Senrioka, Shojaku) - the newest houses66 houses (¥9,990,000-¥84,900,000, median ¥39,800,000). Elevation 3.3-48.1 m (median 14.8 m). Nearest stations: Kishibe 39, Senrioka 16, Shojaku 5. The median build year is 2002, the newest of the four. Median plot 83 m².
Who it suits = anyone who wants to live near Kento (the North Osaka Health and Medical Town) / anyone commuting to Osaka Station in 13 minutes by JR (§3)
What to watch = Kishibe and Senrioka sit on the boundary between the low ground and the hills, and within the same district the elevation moves from 3 metres to 48. Whether you are at the top or the bottom of the slope changes the daily bicycle ride

Along the Hankyu Senri Line (Senriyama, Kandaimae, Toyotsu) - the university, and long-established housing31 houses (¥18,990,000-¥138,860,000, median ¥59,800,000). Elevation 1.8-62.1 m (median 43.6 m). Nearest stations: Senriyama 12, Kandaimae 10, Toyotsu 5. The median plot is 150 m², noticeably larger.
Who it suits = anyone who wants through service to the Sakaisuji Line (§3) towards Kitahama and Nippombashi / anyone looking for a settled residential district
What to watch = the Senriyama campus of Kansai University is in this belt. Walk it once on a weekday afternoon and once in the evening to judge both the student footfall and the quiet

The north, the Senri Hills (Kita-Senri, Minami-Senri, Yamada, Momoyamadai) - a different order of magnitude35 houses (¥25,000,000-¥555,000,000, median ¥120,000,000). Elevation 22.0-85.1 m (median 45.3 m). Nearest stations: Yamada 19, Kita-Senri 6, Banpaku-kinen-koen 4, Minami-Senri 4. Median plot 274 m², median building 155 m².
What to watch = Senri New Town was built mainly as flats, so what comes onto the second-hand detached market is weighted towards large houses. If you are thinking of a detached house in Senri, you will be searching in the knowledge that this is the realistic price band

Prices, counts, elevation, year built and plot size come from the listings below,SUUMOlisted218 listings (all), grouped by address. Elevations come from the map coordinates on each SUUMO listing page, each listing's map coordinates through the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan elevation API (213 of the 218 have coordinates for the individual property. The remaining 5 have no coordinates, so the value for the representative point of that oaza or town is used) / checked 2026-08-19

Which part of Suita should I live in?

It comes down to living on the low ground or living on the hills. The median runs from ¥32,800,000 in the centre and the south to ¥120,000,000 in the northern Senri Hills, and the median plot from 52 to 274 square metres.

CHAPTER 03Trains and cars — how you get around

Checked on JR West's official timetable for a departure at 8:00 on 20 August 2026 (adult, one way). Minami-Suita is a station on the Osaka Higashi Line, opened in March Heisei 31 (2019).

Kita-Senri is the terminus of the Senri Line, which means every train starts thereKita-Senri (HK-95) is the terminus of the Hankyu Senri Line, and the station timetable has only one direction, "Senri Line, towards Osaka-Umeda and Tengachaya". Being the terminus means the first train of the morning starts here. Towards Tengachaya is through service onto the Osaka Metro Sakaisuji Line, so you reach Kitahama, Sakaisujihommachi and Nippombashi without changing.
Journey times and fares from Kita-Senri are not shown on this page. Hankyu's fare search is built around internal station IDs and could not be read by machine. Rather than guess, a link to the official search is given here. For reference, Tenjimbashisuji 6-chome to Sakaisujihommachi on the Sakaisuji Line is 7 minutes and ¥190 (Osaka Metro official).

The city's phrase "a railway town" is a condition of daily life here: you do not have to move house when you change jobs. There is also the Osaka Monorail through Yamada, Banpaku-kinen-koen and Koen-higashiguchi, connecting sideways to Osaka International Airport (Itami). The Suita interchange on the Chugoku and Meishin expressways is inside the city too.

How to read this list

If you are looking for a house in the ¥10-20 million range, this is not the cityOnly 2 of the 218 are ¥10,000,000 or less. The median is ¥39,800,000, and even in the most affordable belt (the centre and the south) the median is ¥32,800,000 (§2). Because land is expensive at ¥242,100 per square metre for residential land (§9), the median plot comes in at 83 m² (about 25 tsubo). If space and price come first, another city within an hour of Osaka will get you there faster.

In exchange, this is a market with many newer housesThe median build year is 2000, and 24 of the 218 (11%) were built in 1981 or earlier. For comparison, Toyonaka City had 68 of 240 (28%). Along the JR Kyoto Line in particular the median build year is 2002 (§2), a belt that has been rebuilt alongside the development of Kento. If you choose a house built to the old earthquake code, put the city's seismic retrofit subsidy (§8) into the budget from the start.

Suita City is designated a Nankai Trough Earthquake Disaster Prevention Promotion Area. In the 250-metre square containing the city hall, the probability of seismic intensity lower 6 or above within 30 years is 58.0%, and of upper 6 or above 15.2%. The ground is back marsh, with AVS30 of 160.49 m/s. These are the figures for a city hall standing on the low ground in the south. On the Senri Hills in the north, what you need to check is different.

Is this town inside a national earthquake-preparedness zone?

For each major earthquake, national law designates the areas where preparation is to be advanced. Whether a town is designated tells you directly how the national government views the shaking and tsunami expected there.

Nankai Trough Earthquake Disaster Prevention Promotion Area	Designated
Tokyo Inland Earthquake Emergency Measures Area	Not covered (no part of Osaka Prefecture is covered)
Japan Trench / Kuril Trench Earthquake Disaster Prevention Promotion Area	Not covered (no part of Osaka Prefecture is covered)
Shaking of intensity 6-lower or above within 30 years	58.0% (15.2% for upper 6 or above) At the Suita City Hall site. The surface ground is AVS30 160 m/s, back marsh

This probability is for the single 250-metre grid square the city hall stands in. The Suita City town hall stands onback marsh (AVS30 160 m/s), and the 58.0% above is the value at that point. Even within Suita City it changes greatly between low ground along a river and a terrace. When a listing interests you, look it up by its street address.Enter an address on the J-SHIS map and it shows the probability and the ground for that 250-metre mesh.

Look up an address on J-SHIS → Designations from the Cabinet Office list of designated municipalities (Nankai Trough Earthquake Disaster Prevention Promotion Area／Tokyo Inland Earthquake Emergency Measures Area／Japan Trench / Kuril Trench Earthquake Disaster Prevention Promotion Area ) / probability and surface ground from theNational Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Resilience, J-SHIS earthquake hazard information API (2024 edition, average case, all earthquakes) queried at the coordinates of the city hall / verified 2026-08-19

What this number means, and what you do next

58.0% is on the high side even among the places this site has coveredLined up across the cities within an hour of Osaka: Suita 58.0% > Ikoma 27.5% > Toyonaka 11.3% > Minoh 7.5%. What makes the difference is the ground: Suita City Hall stands on back marsh with AVS30 of 160.49 m/s, while Toyonaka City Hall is on a sandy gravel terrace at 381.27 m/s. Soft ground shakes much harder in the same earthquake. But this is the value for one mesh square at the city hall, and the houses on the market in the city run from 1.8 to 85.1 metres above sea level (§2). Please do not read it as a figure for the whole city. You can look address by address on J-SHIS.

The hills have their own thing to check: 427 large filled-ground development sitesThe city surveyed the whole city in fiscal Heisei 26 and published 427 large filled-ground development sites (407 valley-fill type and 20 slope-fill type). These are housing plots created by filling valleys or slopes, and the city states plainly that the map "does not indicate dangerous locations". Even so, if you are buying in a residential district on the hills, it is worth seeing whether your address is on that map. Add a look at the retaining walls and the slope to what you check at a viewing.

Suita City publishes seven kinds of hazard map

Map	What it tells you
Flood hazard map (December Reiwa 7)	Predicted inundation if a river embankment fails or water overflows. Landslide warning areas are shown on it as well
Inland flooding hazard map (December Reiwa 7)	Predicted inundation when heavy rain overwhelms the sewers. If you are considering the low ground in the south, look at this and the flood map together
Storm surge hazard map (March Reiwa 4)	The assumption when a typhoon or the like raises the tide and seawater flows back up the rivers, raising the water level
Irrigation pond hazard map	The inundation area and depth if an irrigation pond fails in heavy rain or an earthquake
Large filled-ground development site map	427 sites in the city (407 valley-fill, 20 slope-fill). Extracted by overlaying the topographic maps before and after development
Landslide warning and special warning areas (Osaka Prefecture)	Areas designated under the Sediment Disaster Prevention Act. The city has a subsidy scheme for relocating or strengthening existing houses in special warning areas
Liquefaction potential map (Osaka Prefecture)	The potential for liquefaction assuming a Nankai Trough mega-earthquake. Essential if you are considering the low ground

Two to look at first - (1) enter the address on the Overlay Hazard Map and layer flood, inland flooding and storm surge; (2) go through the seven maps in order on Suita City's hazard map page.

Is the disaster risk high in Suita?

Designated a Nankai Trough Earthquake Disaster Prevention Promotion Area, with a 58.0% probability of seismic intensity lower 6 or above and 15.2% of upper 6 or above within 30 years at the city hall site (back marsh, AVS30 160.49 m/s). 🔴 These are the figures for a city hall standing on the low ground in the south. On the hill side, look instead at the 427 large filled-ground development sites.

CHAPTER 06What summer and winter are like

There is no AMeDAS station measuring temperature inside Suita City, so the normals for the observatory in Toyonaka City, immediately to the west, are used. The annual mean is 16.4C. Winter is much the same as Tokyo (January daily minimum 0.7C against Tokyo's 1.2C, and 0.0 days a year below freezing all day), while summer is clearly hot (August daily maximum 33.8C against Tokyo's 31.3C, with 16.3 days a year above 35C, more than three times Tokyo's). There are 29.6 tropical nights a year.

Annual rainfall	1,326.3mm	June brings 180.1 mm and July 182.6 mm, and winter is drier (44.4 mm in January)

The summer heat is something to prepare for16.3 days a year above 35C is more than three times Tokyo's 4.8, and there are 29.6 tropical nights. This is the inland side of the Osaka plain, and because the built-up area is packed tight (about 10,700 people per square kilometre, §10), summer is simply hot. In the centre and the south the median plot is 52 m² (§2), so the density also affects how air moves. Insulation and how well the air conditioning works are things to look at during a viewing.

How much rain falls differs between the east and west of the cityThe annual rainfall of 1,326.3 mm shown here is the figure for Toyonaka, immediately west. The AMeDAS station at Ibaraki, immediately east, records 1,607.6 mm a year (it does not measure temperature, so only rainfall). Suita lies between them, in a position where the rain increases as you go east. Winter needs no preparation for snow - there are 0.0 days a year below freezing all day, January rainfall is only 44.4 mm, and there is little reason to buy a snow shovel.

Are summers hot and winters cold in Suita?

Summer is clearly hot, with an August daily maximum of 33.8C, 16.3 days a year above 35C (Tokyo 4.8) and 29.6 tropical nights. Winter has 0.0 days below freezing all day, so no snow shovel is needed. 🔴 There is no AMeDAS station measuring temperature inside Suita City, so these are the figures for the observatory in Toyonaka City immediately to the west.

CHAPTER 07Shops, hospitals, schools

Medicine is this city's calling card. 15 hospitals (20 beds or more) and 2,516 doctors. An ambulance reaches the scene in 6 minutes 49 seconds on average (the national average is 9 minutes 48 seconds), and reaches hospital in 33 minutes 36 seconds. Children's medical costs are covered to the end of the school year in which they turn 18, with no income limit. For schools there are 35 primary schools (21,155 pupils) and 18 junior high schools (9,154 pupils).

Medicine - the city has "a city of health and medicine" as a stated policy

Kento (the North Osaka Health and Medical Town) = the site of the Suita marshalling yardThe city has brought together the National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center, the National Institute of Health and Nutrition and Suita Municipal Hospital in this belt, and is developing it around the concept of "health and medicine". The "Kento Innovation Park" next to the Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center is set aside for the research and development facilities of health and medical companies, and Kento Railside Park, the Kento Library, wellness housing for older people that includes a sick-child care facility, and shops in front of the station have been built too. The place is JR Kishibe - the "Along the JR Kyoto Line" belt in §2. There are also Osaka University Hospital, Saiseikai Suita Hospital and Saiseikai Senri Hospital.

The speed of the ambulance shows in the numbers6 minutes 49 seconds on average from the call to arrival on scene (the national average is 9 minutes 48 seconds), and 33 minutes 36 seconds from the call to arrival at hospital. About 3 minutes faster - and in an emergency those 3 minutes matter. For reference, the fire rate is 0.96 per 10,000 people (the national average is 3.1). That the city writes "good healthcare leads to peace of mind in daily life" and sets out these figures is itself part of this city's character.

How to use emergency care

On holiday afternoons, the city's holiday emergency clinicSuita City Holiday Emergency Clinic (Aoyamadai 4-31-20, Suita City / 06-6831-6700). Reception is 9:30 to 11:30 and 13:00 to 16:30 on Sundays, public holidays and over the new year. It is in Aoyamadai in Senri New Town - in the north of the city. If you are going to live in the south, check the route and the time from your home before you move.

For children at night, the centre in Minoh CityPaediatrics at night is at the Toyono Regional Children's Emergency Centre (Kayano 5-1-14, Minoh City / 072-729-1981). Reception is 18:30 to 6:30 the next morning on weekdays, 14:30 to 6:30 on Saturdays, and 8:30 to 6:30 on Sundays, public holidays and over the new year. It is a regional centre run jointly by the Toyono area, and is not inside Suita City. The city also gives details of the holiday emergency clinics in Toyonaka, Ikeda, Settsu and Osaka City (Juso and Miyakojima).

Children's medical costs are covered to the end of the school year in which they turn 18, with no income limit

Suita City's children's medical cost assistance covers everyone until the first 31 March after their 18th birthday, and there is no income limit (extended to the end of the school year in which they turn 18 from 1 April Reiwa 2). At the counter of a medical institution, the out-of-pocket cost of insured treatment less a partial self-payment of ¥500 is covered. If the total exceeds ¥2,500 per person in a month, the excess is returned on application (the same procedure applies if you are treated outside Osaka Prefecture or could not present the medical certificate). Apply within 3 months of the birth or of moving in. After 3 months, eligibility starts from the 1st of the month in which the submission is confirmed.

Schools - which school district you are in matters especially in this city

There are 35 municipal primary schools (21,155 pupils) and 18 junior high schools (9,154 pupils) (both as of 1 May Reiwa 7). The largest primary school is Senri Daisan with 1,101 pupils, followed by Senri Daini with 1,097, Toyotsu Daiichi with 991 and Senriokakita with 983. The smallest are Kishibe Daiichi with 252, Suita Dairoku with 283 and Takanodai with 305 - a 4.4-fold gap inside one city. Among junior high schools, Senrioka has 1,010 against Daisan with 240. And in Suita these numbers are about to move sharply. On the city's medium projection, Aoyamadai Primary School goes from 355 pupils (Reiwa 7) to 756 (Reiwa 13) - 2.1 times in six years. The reason is housing development on the former site of the National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center, and the city has already moved part of Fujishirodai 5-chome into the Aoyamadai Primary School catchment. In the other direction, Senriokakita Primary School is projected to halve from 983 to 492. The city also asks housing developers to "take care to restrain the increase in pupil numbers" in oversized school districts, and states plainly that it may reset a development area into a neighbouring primary school district. How many pupils the catchment of the address you are considering has now, and how many it is expected to have in six years - in Suita, it is worth finding out before you decide.

What are healthcare and schools like in Suita?

15 hospitals and 2,516 doctors, with an ambulance reaching the scene in 6 minutes 49 seconds on average (the national average is 9 minutes 48 seconds). Children's medical costs are covered to the end of the school year in which they turn 18, with no income limit. For schools there are 35 primary schools (21,155 pupils) and 18 junior high schools (9,154 pupils).

CHAPTER 08What it costs you every year after you buy

On the city's ready-reckoner, water and sewerage for 40 cubic metres over two months on a 13 mm meter comes to ¥8,630 (including tax) (water ¥5,412 plus sewerage ¥3,218). On a 20 mm meter it is ¥8,828, and 20 cubic metres over two months is ¥3,834.

Use over two months	Water charge	Sewerage charge	Total (tax included)
20㎥	¥2,332	¥1,502	¥3,834
30㎥	¥3,872	¥2,360	¥6,232
40㎥	¥5,412	¥3,218	¥8,630
50㎥	¥7,612	¥4,274	¥11,886

These are the rows exactly as they appear in the city's published general-category ready-reckoner (meter sizes 13 mm to 25 mm, two months, including 10% consumption tax), with the water charge taken from the 13 mm column. On a 20 mm meter the water charge for 40 cubic metres over two months is ¥5,610, making ¥8,828 in all. Meters are read once every two months. For reference, the same 40 cubic metres over two months costs ¥9,154 in Toyonaka City and ¥9,485 in Minoh City.

There is a city subsidy for houses built to the old earthquake codeOf the 218 listings collected, 24 were built in 1981 or earlier (§4). For wooden houses whose building confirmation was issued on or before 31 May Showa 56, the city pays whichever is the smaller of four-fifths of the cost of seismic retrofitting and ¥800,000 (¥1,050,000 for designated households) (the ceiling rises from fiscal Reiwa 8). For demolition it is whichever is smaller of four-fifths and ¥500,000. It is limited, however, to those with taxable income below ¥5,070,000, and the seismic assessment score must be under 1.0. There are separate schemes for each of the three stages: assessment, design and retrofitting.

You can live here without a carFive operators and 15 stations (§3) run here, and the houses on the market are spread across 12 or more stations. The median plot is 83 m² (§4) - and 52 m² in the centre and the south (§2) - which also means many houses come without parking. In this city it is more realistic to decide first whether you can live without a car, and then choose the district and the house. Note too that with 16.3 days above 35C and 29.6 tropical nights (§6), the state of the insulation feeds straight into the energy bill.

What do water and sewerage cost in Suita?

On the city's ready-reckoner, 40 cubic metres over two months on a 13 mm meter comes to ¥8,630 (including tax) (water ¥5,412 plus sewerage ¥3,218). 20 cubic metres over two months is ¥3,834.

CHAPTER 09What happens when you want to sell

In the Reiwa 8 land price publication, residential land in Suita City averages ¥242,100 per square metre, up 4.9% on the year. Commercial land is ¥776,100 (+8.3%), industrial land ¥188,000 (+5.6%) and all uses together ¥341,900 (+5.5%). All four rose, and all four are the highest levels among the areas this site has covered.

Use	Average price	Year-on-year change
Residential	¥242,100/m²	+4.9%
Commercial land	¥776,100/m²	+8.3%
Industrial land	¥188,000/m²	+5.6%
All uses	¥341,900/m²	+5.5%

The highest level within an hour of OsakaThe residential average of ¥242,100 per square metre is just above Toyonaka City (¥240,300), about 1.2 times Minoh City (¥204,000), about 1.5 times Takarazuka City (¥165,200) and about 2.5 times Ikoma City (¥97,500). Even a 25-tsubo plot (83 m²) costs about ¥20,100,000 for the land alone. The median plot staying at 83 m² (§4) is a consequence of these land prices.

Having many stations is what makes the exit strongResidential land +4.9%, commercial land +8.3%. This is a market with five operators and 15 stations (§3) that also holds Kento, Osaka University and Kansai University (§7, §10), so the pool of buyers is deep. The differences between districts are large, though: medians run from ¥32,800,000 (the centre and the south) to ¥120,000,000 (the northern Senri Hills) (§2). The conditions that counted when you bought will count again when you sell.

Will the house I buy sell when I want to sell it?

In the Reiwa 8 land price publication residential land is ¥242,100 per square metre, up 4.9% on the year, and commercial land +8.3%. These are the highest levels among the areas this site has covered, just above Toyonaka City (¥240,300 per square metre).

CHAPTER 10Who lives here, and how many

387,720 people in 191,736 households (end of June Reiwa 8, Basic Resident Register). That is 2.02 people per household. There are 18,826 more women than men (184,447 men, 203,273 women). The population density is about 10,700 people per square kilometre. The city writes that "the population of Suita City has been rising almost continuously since Heisei 7 (1995)".

There are 48,699 university studentsThe number of university students enrolled in faculties and graduate schools located in the city is 48,699, and the city writes that "the student population is far and away the largest of any municipality in the prefecture". That is because Osaka University (Suita campus) and Kansai University (Senriyama campus) are here. It works out at one university student for every eight residents. If you are considering Senriyama or Kandaimae (§2), walk them with that in mind. It also means deep rental demand - two exits rather than one.

The city's population changes over between day and nightOn the city's own calculation from the Reiwa 2 Census, 96,078 people come into Suita City from other cities to work or study and 110,621 travel out to work or study. Around a hundred thousand each way - a commuter city in the clearest sense. On the breakdown of households by housing type the city writes that it is "a city with a high share of collective housing such as the estates and blocks of flats typified by Senri New Town". That only 218 second-hand detached houses are on the market (§4) follows from how the housing stock is made up in the first place.

What is happening to Suita's population?

387,720 people in 191,736 households (end of June Reiwa 8, Basic Resident Register), with a population density of about 10,700 people per square kilometre. 🔴 48,699 students attend universities in the city, which the city describes as "far and away the largest of any municipality in the prefecture".

CHAPTER 11Community life and the year's events

The centre of the year in Suita is "Suita Festa". The Suita Matsuri, which began in 1970, reached its 50th edition in 2019, and from that point the name changed to "Suita Festa" in 2020 and the venue moved to the Expo Commemoration Park - in the city's words, "so that it becomes a more attractive festival". In 2026 it is held on 12 October (Monday, a public holiday).

month 10	Suita Festa 2026 (12 October, Monday, a public holiday). It marks 5 years. Its predecessor was the Suita Matsuri, held from 1970, whose 50th edition in 2019 was the last before the name and the venue changed	Banpaku-kinen-koen

All year	Senri New Town - the project plan was announced in Showa 35 and the first residents moved into the Satakedai district in Showa 37. More than 60 years have passed since it opened	North of the city

Residents' own activity shows in the numbersThere are 115 specified non-profit corporations (NPOs) in the city (as of 24 March Reiwa 8). There are 8 childcare drop-in centres, and all 8 are run by citizens' groups. There are 12 children's halls and centres. The city publishes the figure "about 60% of residents like where they live now and intend to stay" and writes that it aims for 70%. This is a city that produces its own figures and shows the gap against its target.

Community life differs between the new town and the old townBetween Senri New Town, where residents began moving in in Showa 37, and Suita, Kishibe and Toyotsu, which predate the merger of four towns and villages in Showa 15, the neighbourhood associations were formed differently and the weight of the events differs. More than 60 years have passed since the new town opened, and in some parts the housing stock is being renewed. Before you buy, ask the association officers directly about the fee and the rota in that district. Because this is a city with few detached houses (§10), neighbourhood life also varies from district to district.

What events does Suita have?

At the centre is Suita Festa (in 2026 on 12 October, Monday, a public holiday, at the Expo Commemoration Park). The Suita Matsuri, which began in 1970, reached its 50th edition in 2019, and from 2020 the name and the venue changed. In May and June the himebotaru fireflies can be seen in Senri Green Space.

CHAPTER 12Things nearby that move land prices

Three things set prices in Suita: (1) the depth of the railways, five operators and 15 stations; (2) Kento and the two universities; (3) the difference in the ground between the hills and the low land. Residential land averages ¥242,100 per square metre (+4.9%) - the highest level among the areas this site has covered.

(1) "The centre by whichever line you like"Five operators - JR, Hankyu, Kita-Osaka Kyuko, Osaka Metro and the Osaka Monorail - and 15 passenger stations. Esaka to Hommachi 16 minutes, Umeda 11 minutes, Minami-Suita to Shin-Osaka 2 minutes, JR Suita to Osaka 10 minutes - all without changing (§3). The houses on the market are spread across 12 or more stations. You do not have to move house when you change jobs - and that shows in the +8.3% rise in commercial land.

(2) Kento and the two universities draw people inThe National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center and Suita Municipal Hospital on the site of the Suita marshalling yard (§7). Osaka University and Kansai University with 48,699 students (§10). 15 hospitals and 2,516 doctors. Because 96,078 people come in each day to work or study (§10), rental demand is constant. What is distinctive about this city is that you have not only selling but letting as an exit.

(3) The hills and the low ground split both the price and the conditionsThe north is the Senri Hills at 20-116 m, the south low ground about 10 m up (§1). The median second-hand detached house runs from ¥32,800,000 in the centre and the south to ¥120,000,000 in the northern Senri Hills (§2). The median plot too is 52 m² against 274 m². Within one "Suita City", what you are buying is entirely different. On the low ground it is flood, inland flooding, storm surge and liquefaction; on the hills it is the 427 large filled-ground development sites and the landslide warning areas (§5) - even the maps you need to look at differ.

What this land earns from

Suita is a city that has moved from "the town of beer and the marshalling yard" to "the town of health and medicine". The Suita marshalling yard, once said to be the largest in the East, came to the end of its role in Showa 59 (1984) as logistics shifted from rail to road, and the site became the North Osaka Health and Medical Town (Kento) (§1, §7). What the city now puts forward is "creating a healthcare industry through innovation" - it is building a town that can be called "a symbol of the prevention of cardiovascular disease", centred on the National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center, and writes that it will "send the 'Suita model' of health and medical town-building out to the world" as the result. On top of that sit 48,699 students at Osaka University and Kansai University (§10) and the Expo Commemoration Park. Its business start-up rate of 6.5% is 13th among all cities and special wards in Japan with 10,000 or more establishments. Annual wholesale and retail sales come to about ¥1,815,400,000,000.

What decides land prices in Suita?

Three things: (1) the depth of the railways, five operators and 15 stations; (2) Kento and the two universities; (3) the difference in the ground between the hills and the low land. Residential land is ¥242,100 per square metre (+4.9%) and commercial land +8.3%, both rising strongly.

What does Suita earn its living from?

The Suita marshalling yard, "said to be the largest in the East", came to the end of its role in Showa 59 (1984), and its site became the North Osaka Health and Medical Town (Kento). The city now puts forward "creating a healthcare industry through innovation".

CHAPTER 14A message from Suita City

Suita City is not a place that draws people in with relocation subsidies. As a mature city of 380,000 people, it has been chosen for what is there once you live there - children's medical costs, the holiday emergency clinic, the seismic retrofit subsidy, and Kento. What follows is what the city writes in its own words.

How the city introduces itself

The city opens "Suita in data" like this: "Plenty of railway stations, lots of greenery, good healthcare... You have some image of Suita City, but you don't really know what it is like. For anyone in that position, we have gathered all sorts of data about Suita City." It then sets out population, the breakdown of households by housing type, the commuting population, the number of passenger stations, the area of urban parks, the number of NPOs, the ratio of own-source revenue, outstanding municipal bonds, the fire rate, the effective rate of the water supply, the business start-up rate, the number of doctors, the number of hospitals, ambulance response times, the number of children's halls and the number of university students. "Let us look in concrete numbers at the city's rising population, the size of its parks and how active its residents are." Here is a city that tries to explain itself in numbers - that was the strongest impression left while making this page.

Schemes that bear directly on daily life

Scheme or facility	What it is
Grant for children’s medical costs	Until the first 31 March after the 18th birthday, with no income limit (extended from 1 April Reiwa 2). The partial self-payment is ¥500, and anything over ¥2,500 per person per month is returned on application (§7)
Suita City Holiday Emergency Clinic	Aoyamadai 4-31-20 (in the north of the city). Sundays, public holidays and over the new year, 9:30-11:30 and 13:00-16:30 (§7)
Toyono Regional Children's Emergency Centre	Paediatrics at night. It is at 5-1-14 Kayano, Minoh City, run jointly by the Toyono area. Weekdays 18:30 to 6:30 the next morning, and other hours besides (§7)
Seismic retrofit subsidy	For wooden houses dating from on or before 31 May Showa 56, whichever is smaller of four-fifths of the works cost and ¥800,000 (¥1,050,000 for designated households). The ceiling rises from fiscal Reiwa 8. For demolition, whichever is smaller of four-fifths and ¥500,000 (§8)
Relocation and strengthening subsidy for landslide special warning areas	For houses built before the area was designated. It has two parts: relocation (removal costs and a building grant) and strengthening (design and works costs) (§5)
Empty-property measures	Suita City has no vacant-house bank. The city has a Suita City vacant property plan and, in the pamphlet "What next for your house?", sets out what to check, where to ask and what schemes are available
Kento (the North Osaka Health and Medical Town)	The site of the Suita marshalling yard. As well as the National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center, the National Institute of Health and Nutrition and Suita Municipal Hospital, places for residents such as Kento Railside Park and the Kento Library have been built (§7)

Does Suita welcome people moving in? Is there any support?

It is not a place that draws people in with relocation subsidies. Instead it is chosen for what is there once you live there: children's medical costs covered to the end of the school year in which they turn 18, with no income limit, and seismic retrofitting at four-fifths of the works cost up to ¥800,000 (¥1,050,000 for designated households). 🔴 There is no vacant-house bank.

CHAPTER 15A year in Suita

Last, a plan of the year as it is lived. The figures are from the primary sources used on this page.

Month	Suita that month
1–month 2	An average daily minimum of 0.7C, with 32.5 nights a year below freezing. There are 0.0 days below freezing all day, so no snow shovel is needed. January rainfall of 44.4 mm is the lowest of the year
3–month 4	The city flower is the satsuki azalea and the city tree the camphor. School enrolment is compiled each year as of 1 May, and the projections of pupil numbers (§7) start from that date too
5–month 6	The season when the himebotaru fireflies glow in Senri Green Space (on the boundary of Takanodai and Yamada Nishi; a natural monument of Suita City). The rain increases too (180.1 mm in June). The low ground in the south is 2 to 5 metres above sea level, so walking the address once on a rainy day will show you how the water runs
7–month 8	The wettest month (182.6 mm in July) and the hottest. An average daily maximum of 33.8C, 16.3 days above 35C and 29.6 tropical nights. The holiday emergency clinic is open on Sundays and public holidays
9–month 10	12 October (Monday, a public holiday) is Suita Festa 2026 (Expo Commemoration Park). It is the fifth edition, carrying on from the Suita Matsuri held since 1970
11–month 12	Towards the end of the year. The holiday emergency clinic is open over the new year on the same footing as Sundays and public holidays. The city's population and household figures are updated at the end of every month

What is a year in Suita like?

Winter has 0.0 days below freezing all day, and summer is properly hot with 16.3 days above 35C and 29.6 tropical nights. The himebotaru fireflies of Senri Green Space in May and June and Suita Festa on 12 October are the high points of the seasons.

CHAPTER 16The people who run this city

When you are thinking about moving, who is running this town now, and where they are trying to take it is something the people about to live there want to know even more than the people already living there. This chapter sets out, with sources, only what Suita City publishes itself. 🔴 As of 22 August 2026, following the official website, I (the AI) found 6 of the 6 items below. The mayor of Suita City is Keiji Goto (confirmed on Suita City's introduction page).

Only whether each is published or not.

CHAPTER 17Where to go on a day off

What does not show up in the numbers of a house search, but goes straight to how satisfied you are once you live there, is the days off. This chapter counts, on the same yardstick for every area, where you can go on a day off in Suita and where family and friends can stay when they visit. The area currently has 5 hot springs and day bathhouses and 2 amusement parks, zoos and aquariums. 🔴 All the counts are what is registered in the map data (OpenStreetMap) - there may well be more than this in reality.

What	Number counted, and names
♨ Hot springs and day baths	Genki Onsen Banpaku Oyuba, Midori-yu, Fukusuke Onsen, Shinsen Onsen, Shichifuku Onsen (5 facilities)

⛺ Campsites and auto-campsites	Not found in the map data
🏕 Glamping	Not found among the campsite or hotel names
🚐 RV parks (overnight in your vehicle)	Not found in the map data

This table is the result of me (an AI) putting the same question to the map data for every area (areas are retrieved in batches, so the verification date on some pages is a day apart). Facilities not registered on the map are not counted. "Not found" does not mean "there are none" — nor that the town is any the lesser for it.

Are there places to go on a day off, and places to stay?

Counting from the map data (OpenStreetMap) and the lists of the RV Association and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, there are 5 hot springs and day bathhouses, 2 amusement parks, zoos and aquariums and 14 hotels and inns. Facilities that are not on the map are not counted, so there may well be more (see §17).

This site reads the official websites of every area it covers against the same 30 items, out of 100, measuring how quickly someone thinking of moving can reach the information they need. What was measured is the official website of Suita City, and the total was 27 points (measured 26 August 2026).

"Not found" does not mean "there is none." It means I followed the official site and could not find it. Tell us the published page and the next measurement will reflect it.
