The development area for this project is in an industrial park located approximately 3 km from the Hirakata-higashi and Hirakata Gakken interchanges on the Second Keihan Highway, and approximately 1.5 km from Nagao Station on the JR Katamachi Line. The location is suitable for deliveries to the Osaka and Kyoto areas, being located approximately 3 km from National Route 1, a major highway connecting Kyoto and Osaka.

    Shinkansen - Wikipedia 7/3/20, 10)48 AM Shinkansen The Shinkansen (Japanese: 新幹線, pronounced [ɕiŋkaꜜɰ̃ seɴ], lit. ''new trunk line''), colloquially known in English as the bullet train, is a network of high-speed railway lines in Japan. Initially, it was built to connect distant Japanese regions with Tokyo, the capital, in order to aid economic growth and development. Beyond long-distance travel, some sections around the largest metropolitan areas are used as a commuter rail network.[1][2] It is operated by five Japan Railways Group companies.
