Nakasaki Town

Located on the north side of Hankyu Umeda, Nakazaki-cho is a downtown area lined with fashionable cafes, general merchandise stores, second-hand clothing stores, etc. During World War II, Osaka City was bombed several times, and while many areas were burnt to the ground, Nakazaki-cho was spared from air raids. Because of the characteristic structure of row houses, in which several houses share a wall and are linked together, it was difficult to rebuild each house individually, and many old private houses over 100 years old still exist in the area. The residents living in tenements and old houses are aging and the number of vacant houses is increasing. A decade ago, the town was a desolate place with few visitors, but in 2001, the Nakazaki-cho Old House Remodeling Project began with a cafe called "Salon de Aman To Tenjin ". The "vacant house revitalization performance "that attracted a total of 1,100 volunteers attracted a lot of attention, and the town was transformed into a town that attracts people as if it were a time slip to the Showa Era with its fashionable cafes. Recently, foreign tourists from Korea, Taiwan, and other East Asian countries have also started to visit the area. It is within a 20-minute walk from Umeda, making it an easily accessible place.

sky building

Opened in 1993, the Sky Building is a skyscraper consisting of Tower East (east wing) and Tower West (west wing) in Shin-Umeda City, with 40 floors above ground and 2 floors below, approximately 173 meters high, and is a landmark in Osaka. It was designed by Hiroshi Hara, professor emeritus at the University of Tokyo. Inspired by the movie "The Towering Inferno ", Hara came up with the idea of connecting the top floors of the two buildings with an aerial observation deck. This eccentric idea was realized through a construction technique known as the "lift-up method ", in which the aerial observation deck is assembled on the ground and then lifted up with a wire rope. Since it was selected as one of the "TOP 20 BUILDINGS AROUND THE WORLD "by the British publication, Dorling Kindersley, many foreign visitors to Japan can be seen in recent years. From the Hanging Garden Observatory, visitors can enjoy a panoramic view of not only the cityscape of Umeda, but also the center of Osaka and, on fine days, Awaji Island and other distant landscapes. Near the observatory, there is a shrine dedicated to "the Hanging Garden Great Myojin ", which is blessed with the promise of romantic fulfillment, and it is also known as a sacred place for lovers. It takes about 10 minutes on foot from Umeda Station on each line.

Based on the Wholesale Market Law, there are 64 central wholesale markets throughout Japan that are opened by local governments with the approval of the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. In Osaka City, there are three markets: the Main Market, which handles vegetables, fruits, and marine products, the Eastern Market, and the Nanko Market, which handles meat products. Among these, the Honjo market is known as Japan's second-largest central wholesale market in terms of volume, after Tokyo's Toyosu market. "The rice riots of 1918 "made it difficult to maintain a stable supply of fresh food and other food products, and the Central Wholesale Market Law was enacted in 1923 to justify transactions and formulate fair prices, and in 1925, the Osaka Central Wholesale Market was established in Osaka. In November 1931, the main central wholesale market opened in Noda, Fukushima-ku, Osaka. Since then, the market has continued to develop as a core system for the distribution of fresh food products, and the reconstruction of the main market, which began in 1989, was completed in 2002.

According to the shrine pavilion, Namba Yasaka Shrine, which has been called "Namba Shimonomiya "since ancient times and was the local deity of the Namba area, was known to the world as an ancient shrine that held the Gozutenno (Gozu Tenno) shrine.

The temple was abolished due to the separation of Shintoism and Buddhism after the Meiji Restoration, and the present main shrine was completed in 1974. The tug-of-war event held every year on the third Sunday of January is based on the legend that Susanonomikoto, the god of the shrine, defeated the eight-forked serpent and relieved the people of their distress. During the reign of Emperor Nintoku, when a plague broke out in the area, Ushitotenno appeared and quelled the plague, which is said to be the origin of the shrine.

The Mozu Kofun Tumulus Group is a group of tumuli located in Sakai City, Osaka Prefecture. 23 tumuli belonging to the Mozu Kofun Tumulus Group were officially registered as a World Heritage Site in July 2019. The Mozu Kofun Tumulus Group is a group of tombs of kings in the ancient Japanese archipelago, constructed from the late 4th to the late 5th century, and includes a large number of keyhole-shaped keyhole-shaped front-recessed circular mounds, which are unique in the world. In addition to the forward-rear circular mounds, there are four other types of burial mounds: scalloped mounds, round mounds, and square mounds, making the site a model for other burial mounds throughout the Japanese archipelago.

Among them, the Nintoku Imperial Tomb, which boasts the largest area in the world, is also known as Daisenryo Kofun, and is 486 meters long, taking one hour to go around. The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (U.S.A.) has in its collection a mirror with a narrow banded animal belt and a single phoenix ring-headed sword, which are said to have been excavated from the Nintoku-tennō-ryō. In addition, the name of the Mozu tumulus cluster is derived from the biography in "the Chronicles of Japan ", which says that when Emperor Nintoku's mausoleum was being built, a deer flew into the construction site and fell to its death, after which a Mozu bird flew out, biting the deer's ear off.

Shippōtakiji Temple is the head temple of the Inunaki school of the Shingon sect of Buddhism, located in Izumisano City, Osaka, in the mountains of Mount Inunaki. Unlike Mt. Omine, where women are not allowed to practice, Shipporyuji Temple is known as Japan's oldest fundamental training center for asceticism, founded by En no Gyoja some 1,300 years ago.

The Inunaki River flows through the mountain, and there are a total of seven waterfalls and ascetic sites, including "Gyoja-no-taki (Gyoja Waterfall) ". The legend of the righteous dog was born in Inunashiyama during the reign of Emperor Uda. When a hunter missed a deer he was shooting in the mountains because of the barking of a dog, the hunter became angry and beheaded the dog. The hunter got angry and beheaded the dog, but the dog's head jumped up and bit a giant snake that was about to attack the hunter. The hunter was so bitter that he became a monk at Shippotakiji Temple and made a memorial service for his beloved dog. Emperor Uda was moved by this story and ordered Shippotakiji to change the name of the mountain to "Inunaki-san ". On the road leading to Mt. Inunaki Shippotakiji, the grave of the famous dog, Yoshinu, can still be seen today.

Kishijo Shrine

Kishijo Shrine is located in Kishiwada City, Osaka Prefecture, and was originally built by local farmers who prayed for a good harvest and built Shinmeisha Shrine. After Susanoo-no-Mikoto was invoked from Yasaka Shrine in Kyoto about 650 years ago, the shrine was called Gyuto-tenno-sha and became a local guardian deity. The shrine enshrines three deities: Amaterasu no Mikoto, Susanoo-no-Mikoto and Homutawake-no-mikoto. During the Momoyama Period (1573-1600), Koide Hidemasa, who was given 30,000 koku of Kishiwada by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, built the shrine inside Kishiwada Castle. In the Edo period, Matsudaira Yasushige, who became the lord of Kishiwada Castle, built a new shrine building. At the beginning of the Meiji period (1868-1912), Ushitotenno Shrine and Hachiman Shrine were enshrined together and renamed "Kishiwada Castle "Shrine. In 2008, the current shrine building was completed. The shrine is said to be beneficial for matchmaking, as Kishiwada Castle was called Chigirijo (castle). The shrine has been attracting an increasing number of worshippers since the Tokaebisu Grand Festival was held in 1930, and is very crowded on the day before the Respect-for-Senior-Citizens Day in September and during the Kishiwada Festival's Miya-irisu (shrine entry).

The temple was founded by En no Gyoja in 701 and rebuilt by Kobo Daishi Kukai in 815 as a dojo of the Shingon sect of Buddhism. "In the Muromachi period (1336-1573), the temple developed from the traditional architectural methods that had been used until then: "the Japanese style ", the Zen style "introduced from China ", the Great Buddha style ", and a new style called "the eclectic style ", which combined these styles, was established. The Kondo of this temple uses the "Japanese style ", but is known as a representative building of the "eclectic style "because it incorporates the "Zen sect style "in its construction method. When the powerful Kusunoki Masanari was active in the Southern Court during the Nanbokucho Period, the area around Kanshinji Temple was an important base for the Southern Court, and Emperor Go Murakami, who succeeded Emperor Godaigo, temporarily stayed at this temple.
