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!

Introducing the photos posted on "Everyone's Post"! This is a pickup post of the inbound tourism information SNS "Cool Japan Video". Today, I would like to introduce a post by "Doseidon". The view of the castle and cherry blossoms is one of the superb views. Osaka Castle, located in Chuo-ku, Osaka, is a castle built in Osaka Castle Park. After being built during the Sengoku period, the castle tower was burned down many times and remained lost, but was rebuilt in 1931 at the request of the mayor of Osaka at the time. Currently, the castle tower is registered as a national registered tangible cultural property. Osaka Castle Park is a famous cherry blossom viewing spot that has been selected as one of the "100 Best Cherry Blossom Spots" in Japan. There are about 3,000 cherry trees in the park, including Somei Yoshino, Yamazakura, and Kanhizakura, and the best time to see them is usually around late March ~ early April. In addition, it is lit up from 18 ~ 21 o'clock and you can enjoy the cherry blossoms at night. The vast Osaka Castle Park is full of attractions. The megalith "Takoishi" at the end of the cherry blossom gate located in front of the Osaka Castle Honmaru is a popular tourist spot. It is 5.5m high, has a surface area of 36 tatami mats, and weighs 108 tons. In addition, Osaka Castle is dotted with megaliths, so it is recommended to take a walk around the megaliths. At the museum in the castle tower, themes are held including permanent exhibitions, and you can try on helmets and jinhaori. ◆Osaka Castle◆ 【Address】〒540-0002 1-1 Osaka-jo, Chuo-ku, Osaka 【Access】 "Tanimachi 4-chome Station" Exit 1-B About 15 minutes on foot from the station 【Parking lot】Available (Please check the official website for details.) )

If you want to immerse yourself in the unique atmosphere of the city, please do! I stopped by Umeda to take this photo when I was feeling down and unsure of myself. I remember that my dark heart was lit up by the bright lights of the city, and as I looked at the skyscrapers and the many people passing by, I felt once again that all my worries were trivial If you want to immerse yourself in a unique urban atmosphere, this is the place to be!
