- 48 Waterfalls of Takihata
- Travel / Tourism
- Osaka Kawachinaganoshi Takihata
- They are about 15 minutes on foot from the last stop of the Nankai Bus going to Takihata Dam. In the ravine around Takihata, there are many steep rock surfaces, and the water flowing from Mt. Iwawaki and Mt. Minami Katsuragi become waterfalls. These waterfalls are collectively called the 48 Waterfalls of Takihata. In addition, it is also a scenic spot well known as a secret area since the natural environment is preserved and has not been altered by people. Kotaki, located in the upper reaches of Konanji Temple, is the largest, and the area is a popular outdoor spot because there is also a camping ground nearby. Takihata Dam is downstream, and together the site has been chosen as one of Osaka's top 100 green landscapes.

- Mt. Inunaki
- Travel / Tourism
- Izumisano-shi, Osaka-fu
- This is a sacred place founded more than 1,300 years ago for Shugendo, a form of Japanese mountain asceticism, by the founder of the mountain ascetic sect En no Ozunu, also called En no Gyoja. At Mt. Inunaki Shipporyuji Temple, Japan's oldest Shugendo dojo, besides being able to undergo training such as meditation by sitting under a waterfall if initiated, there are one-day courses (reservations required) where you can experience training under the guidance of a mountain ascetic. There are many female participants since there are no restrictions. Inunaki Hot Springs is also located at the foot of the mountain, where you can heal yourself from the weariness of training.
