  • Muko City, Kyoto
    Muko city, Kyoto 1 Section 1 Nature and(Geographical Environment and Weather) 1. Geographical Environment Muko city is located at the southwest part of the Kyoto Basin. Traveling the Yodo River upward from the Osaka Bay through the narrow area between Mt. Tenno, the famous warfield of Battle of Yamazaki that determined the future of this country, and Mt. Otoko, the home of Iwashimizu Hachimangu Shrine, one of the three major hachimangu shrines in Japan, the city sits where three rivers of the Katsura, the Uji and the Kizu merge and form the Yodo River. On west, Kyoto Nishiyama Mountain Range including Mt. Oshio lays and the Katsura River runs on our east. We share three boundaries with Kyoto city - the northern and western boundaries with Nishikyo-ku, and the eastern boundary with Minami-ku and Fushimi-ku. Across the southern boundary is Nagaokakyo city abutting Oyamazaki-cho which is the neighbor of Osaka Prefecture. The city is approximiately 2km from east to west and approximiately 4km from south to north covering the 7.72km2 area. This makes us the third smallest city in Japan after Warabi city and Komae city. Figure 1-1-1 Location of Muko city （Right figure （Kyoto map） ： The place of red is Muko city） （Lower figure （Japan map） ： The place of red is Kyoto） N W E S 1 Geographically, it is a flatland with the northwestern part higher and the southwestern part lower. This divides the city coverage into three distinctive parts of the hilly area in the west formed by the Osaka Geo Group which is believed to be cumulated several tens of thousands to several million years ago, the terrace in the center, and the alluvial plain in the east formed by the Katsura River and the Obata River.

  • Chapter 6 Building Competitive Economy and Society
    Section 1 Constructing Trafc Networks Chapter 6 Building Competitive Economy and Society Section 1 Constructing Trafc Networks 1 Developing Trunk Road Networks (1) Developing Trunk Road Networks Since the First Five-Year Road Construction Plan formulated in 1954, Japanese highways have been continually con- structed. For example, the construction of national highway networks, including expressways, has provided a major impe- tus in the rejuvenation of regional economies by encouraging plant locations near expressway interchanges. Additionally, it has helped enhance the quality and safety of national life by making broad-area medical services accessible to rural II areas and allowing broad rerouting to avoid highway disruption by natural disasters. An example includes the Sakai-Koga IC to Tsukuba Chuo IC segment of the Metropolitan Intercity Expressway Chapter 6 (Ken-O Expressway) opened on February 26, 2017, which resulted in roughly 90% connection of the 300 km of total roadway on the Expressway. This development is expected to attract more businesses and promote sightseeing activities. On the other hand, there are still missing links of expressways and arterial road networks in other parts of the country, which we plan to develop in a systematical manner.
