Neyagawa City is a core city (a mid-sized city with expanded powers) of Kitakawachi on the left bank of the Yodo River and developed as a suburban residential city of Osaka City.

Ishinohoden Kofun remains in the eastern hills, and Naritasan Osaka Betsuin temple is known for prayers for traffic safety.
