"These five-story walk-up apartment blocks in Senri New Town north of Osaka are typical of the economical public housing in the 1960s and 70s. This area in Senri is adjacent to the main rail station, allowing easy access to central Osaka. Single-family houses are located further from the station on hills in the background."
