Katsuoji Temple / Minoh Katsuoji Temple, which is famous for its "Victory Daruma", was even more crowded with tourists as the autumn foliage season began. This is one of the photos I took at Katsuoji. This is the most confident photo I took on my first outing in a long time! By the way, Katsuoji Temple is crowded with tourists around noon, so considering the cold, I think it's just right to arrive around 2 o'clock in the afternoon!

Well, this is a photo I took at the Kaiyukan I went to last month. There were fish, birds, and otters, and it was fun. Just looking at it was soothing. I went there on a weekday, but there were a lot of people, I thought it was a good thing ... The jellyfish part was especially good. I became nothing. I couldn't take many pictures of otters due to bad timing, but I was able to take pictures of other fish, dolphins, sea lions, etc. If you go when there are no people, please go at night. It was good that there were not many people.

What is the appeal of Japan? What would you say when asked? Is it an old-fashioned temple or temple that has existed for a long time? Or is it performing arts such as kabuki and rakugo, which have long been popular with the common people? Recently, there has been a growing recognition that anime and manga are also unique to Japan. However, I strongly believe that "festivals" are the charm of Japan. On the day when the Kansai baseball team became the number one team in Japan for the first time in 38 years, many people gathered across the boundaries of age and race, and there was a "festival" there.

[Scattered cherry blossoms] 【Scattered cherry blossoms】 Cherry blossoms are reminiscent of ``short-lived'' because their flowers fall quickly. Because the samurai were determined to win the war, family crests associated with scattering, ephemeral, and bad luck became distant. Cherry blossoms are reminiscent of "short-lived" because they bloom quickly. Since the samurai are on the verge of victory, the family crest, which is associated with scattering, ephemeral, and ominous, is estranged.

? Expo Commemorative Park / Osaka I haven't been out much lately, but I finally got some autumn-like photos! While many tourists were visiting even though it was daytime on a weekday, I was able to take a picture of this maple tree with no one! As of 10/19, the maple trees had not yet turned red, so I think that the camellia will decorate this street more and more in the future! Why don't you visit us?

Sanadazaemon Sayukimura, who persevered in righteousness in the world of the warring states and crossed paths with Tokugawa Ieyasu, was killed in the Osaka summer camp. However, he was handed down as the number one soldier of Hihon, and the border from Tennoji to Osaka Castle was Sanada Yukimura's Bushido (Favorite quote, "Forget your indebtedness, devour your self-interest, can you call me a person?") I came around in red armor to feel it.

How do you do!
It is a town full of history "Fujiidera City, Osaka Prefecture".

Fujiidera City is located about 15 km southeast of Osaka City, and can be reached from Kansai Airport in about 1 hour and 10 minutes by train or 50 minutes by car.

The origin of the city's name is derived from the "Fujiidera" that exists in the city.
Katsurui-dera Temple was built in the latter half of the 7th century and is worshipped as the fifth temple of the 33 Kannon Sacred Sites in Nishikoku, and the main statue of the National Treasure Inui Urushi Senju Kannon is actually a thousand-armed Kannon statue with 1,041 hands, and is opened on the 18th of every month. In spring, beautiful purple wisteria flowers bloom on the wisteria trellis of the precincts.

In addition, Dōmyōji Tenmangu Shrine is a shrine located in Dōmyōji in Fujiidera City that gathers worship as a god of learning, and there are about 800 plum trees of 80 species in the precincts, and it is known as a famous place for plum blossoms.
The treasure hall in the precincts has a collection of national treasures and many valuable cultural properties, so please take a look.

In addition, Fujiidera City is famous for its Furuichi Kofun Cluster, a group of burial mounds built from the late 4th century to the middle of the 6th century.

The Furuichi Kofun Cluster consists of more than 130 burial mounds, including seven huge anterior and posterior burial mounds with a length of more than 200 meters, and together with the Mozu burial mounds in Sakai City Furuichi Kofun Cluster, it was registered as a World Cultural Heritage Site for the first time in Osaka Prefecture in the first year of Reiwa.

The shape of the burial mounds also varies.
◎ Keyhole-shaped "front and rear circle burial mound"
◎ A type of anterior-posterior burial mound with a shortened front part "Scallop-shaped burial mound"
◎ Rectangular "square tomb"
◎ The most common circular burial mound in Japan

Here are some of the burial mounds in Furuichi Kofun Cluster!
◎ Tsudoshiro Yamakofun
It is said to be the first huge burial mound built in Furuichi Kofun Cluster.
The length of the mound is 210 m, and in the Muromachi period, Oyama Castle was built using the topography of the burial mound.
At the nearby historical museum "Mahorashiroyama", excavated haniwa and earthenware are on display, so you can learn about the history of the burial mounds.

◎ Mausoleum of Emperor Chuai
Located about a 15-minute walk from Fujiidera Station, this huge burial mound is 245 meters long. Many cylindrical haniwa and figurative haniwa have been excavated from the mounds and hollows.
The burial mound is now covered with rich trees, and waterfowl gather in the surrounding moat, making it a spot where you can feel a relaxing time.

If you want to see the excavated items, we recommend IJsselschla Hall.
As an archaeological and history museum facility, the history exhibition room and the ancient archives room display many cultural properties, including the "Mizutorigata Haniwa", which is an important cultural property of Japan.
The exterior design of the building is based on the motif of a ship-shaped haniwa and shura excavated from Fujiidera City, and is characterized by the image of a ship that inherits history and sets sail into the future.

A recommended sightseeing plan for those who want to enjoy these burial mounds and shrines and temples together is the "Furuichi Kofun Cluster and Rokusha-ji Tour" held as a commemoration of Furuichi Kofun Cluster's registration as a World Cultural Heritage Site.
It is a collection of the mausoleum seals of the World Heritage "Furuichi Kofun Cluster" and the red seals of the venerable shrines and temples scattered throughout Fujiidera City and Habikino City, so you can enjoy sightseeing at Fujiidera Temple while feeling the history firsthand. Please try to collect all the red seals.

In this post, we mainly introduced the historical spots of Fujiidera City, but it is still only a small part of the tourist information of Fujiidera City.
We will continue to send out plenty of recommended information, gourmet information, event and festival information, so thank you!
