Article History

Suita, city, Ōsaka fu (urban prefecture), west-central Honshu, Japan. It is situated on the Yodo River, on the northern border of Ōsaka city.

Other industries include metal, chemical, and pulp manufactures. Suita is best known for its large railway freight yard, which was opened in 1923. The city housed the World Trade Exposition in 1970. Pop. (2005) 353,853; (2010) 355,798.
