A large park, partly within the city grounds, with a number of worthwhile sights. The pretty Hattori Ryokuchi Arboretum (1-13 Terauchi) holds bamboo gardens and some 2,500 cherry trees. The Open-Air Museum of Old Japanese Farmhouses is another favourite, displaying replicas of traditional farmhouses from different parts of Japan.
Osaka International Airport is the nearest airport, and even in part situated on Toyonaka's grounds.
