Osaka Prefectural Forest Kurundo Garden

A forest park in the prefecture where you can touch the beautiful nature of the four seasons. There are eight hiking trails in the park, including lawn square and barbecue square, as well as a hiking course in the park. It is a 50-minute walk from Keihan Private City Station to the park on a hiking course.

Botanical Garden Affiliated to Faculty of Science, Osaka City University

It is about six times larger than Koshien Stadium and can be observed around trees. It creates a typical 11-type forest in Japan. Such a recreation of the forest is unusual in the world. In particular, the tree-lined metasequoia, which grew to a height of about 30m, creates a stunning landscape throughout the four seasons.

Osaka Prefectural Forest Hosoda Garden

It has the largest bridge in Japan with a length of 280m and a height of 50m, "Star Swing" and a full-fledged climbing wall. Climbing requires the accompaniment of a licensed leader. There are 10km of hiking paths for bird watching and enjoying nature. From the observation deck, the city area spreads below, and in the distance you can see the mountains of Hira from Minoh.

Linchang Temple

A Shingon sect temple reportedly opened by Gyoki; burned down by Oda Nobunaga, but rebuilt as late as the Edo period; and a famous garden as the site of the Hirado Azalea; and a natural monument of the prefecture at the nearby Okanaka-Jinshasha.

Jokoji Temple

It was reportedly founded by Gyoki by Emperor Shōmu's royal service in Tenpō 7 (745). It became more desolated during the later North and South Dynasties, but was rebuilt by Moritsugu Fujiwara in the third year of Shitoku (1386). Honson, who has a strong faith from the locals, is known as Yao Jizo. It is said that there is a safe-living ritual. In the precinct stands a stone monument of the oldest kawachi noontodo cradle, and the festival is greatly enlivened by Bon Dance during the annual summer Jizo ceremony.

Nakamuraya

A croquette shop in a nostalgic shopping street since 1955. 80 yen croquettes fried over high heat are popular for children and adults. It is a signboard product that sells 3000 pieces a day. I want to wander around the Tenjin Hashibasi shopping street with freshly made croquettes fried in front of me. Minchi cutlet is 130 yen.
