Where to stay in Mishima
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Higashiosaka is the unit that matters. Mishima works as an address inside it rather than a base of its own, so the sensible plan is a room booked to the city and the district treated as one stop among Mikuriya, Shimokosaka, and Nakakosaka. Walking distances decide nothing here.
The three neighbouring quarters all stand within four kilometres, close enough that the choice between them turns on the run a traveller wants to make each morning rather than on distance.

About Mishima
What are the main landmarks in Mishima?
No landmark answers to the name. The entry that reaches this district gives a name, a parent city, and little else, which leaves anything worth crossing town for to Higashiosaka itself and to the wider Ōsaka-fu around it. Mikuriya and Nakakosaka are no different.
A traveller staying here is staying for access, and the recognised stops of the region sit out on the city and prefectural services rather than at the end of the street.
What is the history of Mishima?
The district's record is thin. Mishima appears as one of the quarters carried by Higashiosaka, in Ōsaka-fu, with no charter year set against the name and no separate account of how the ground came to be built on. Its neighbours read the same way.
Mikuriya, Shimokosaka, and Nakakosaka each arrive as a bare entry on the same municipal list in Japan, one line apiece, with the dates and the detail attaching to Higashiosaka rather than to any of them.
Where is Mishima?
Mikuriya lies a little over two kilometres from the district, with Shimokosaka and Nakakosaka a kilometre or so further, all of them inside Higashiosaka.
