Suita
Discover Suita
Suita is an upper-middle class suburb with many working professionals and college students attending Osaka University and many other educational institutions in the area. The area is known for its large population of people from Tokyo and the Kanto region, including corporate transferees. It has a clean, quiet, polished suburban vibe that differs from the gritty, working-class, Showa era (20th century) feel of downtown Osaka's Namba and Tennoji areas. The Esaka (江坂) area of Suita, centered around Esaka Station, lies at the northern end of the Osaka subway's Midosuji Line and makes for a convenient base to explore the Kansai region. It has many hotels and chain stores, including Don Quijote. Esaka, as with the other suburbs north of Osaka city proper, is a quiet, uncrowded neighborhood popular with white-collar professionals and Tokyoite corporate transferees (i.e., employees transferred to the Kansai region from the Kanto region by Japanese companies). Locals will often you that Esaka feels more like a western Tokyo suburb than like Osaka city proper.
