  • Kuragari Pass
    Travel / Tourism
    Nara Prefecture Ikoma-shi, Osaka-fu Higashi Osaka-shi
    This mountain pass, a Nara Prefecture Landscape Heritage, has long been known as the road taken from Osaka to Nara or to Ise Grand Shrine by people on pilgrimages. The path is lined with stone monuments and still has its original cobbled road surface. It is also famous for the poetry written by Matsuo Basho while he walked there. The name Kuragari (darkness) comes from how dimly lit the path is even during the day due to the shade of thick tree coverage.

    Nara Pref. Ikomashi Tawaraguchichou 2116
    Shigi-Ikoma Skyline Drive is a toll road that runs north-south for the entire 20.9 kilometer length from Mt. Shigi and Mt. Ikoma. The road is famous for affording views of the Osaka area and the city of Ikoma, among other things, and there are observation points and parking spots scattered along the way that allow motorists to enjoy nighttime views. The best spot for viewing sunsets is the appropriately named Yuhi (“Sunset”) Parking Lot near the Shotenguchi Toll Booth.

    The lookout points and attractions along the way arent really that interesting. For me, the drive itself is the main treat. Winding and winding, this toll road is perfect to enjoy with a sports car...

    The head temple of Shingon Risshu Buddhism, the Hozan-ji is located in Monzen Town, Ikoma City, Nara Prefecture and was founded in 1678 by Tankai. A figure of Daishokangiten is enshrined in the Shotendo hall as the temple’s tutelary god; worshipped by people seeking benefits in the present world, Daishokangiten is also known as “Ikoma Shoten-san,” the god of prosperous business. The main temple building, the oldest structure on the temple grounds, houses the temple’s principal object of worship, a wooden figure of Acala designated an Important Cultural Property. Some of the temple’s many highlights include the Shishi-kaku, a Western-style building erected in the Meiji period, and the Hanya-kutsu cave, where the mystic En no Ozuno (shaman) made offerings of the Widsom Sutras. A Kangiten temple festival is held every 1st and 16th of the month, and this event is attended by numerous worshipers seeking benefits in this life.

    Nara Ikoma-shi Arisatocho 390
    "Records state this Buddhist temple was founded by the great priest Gyoki in the Nara period, but details remain unclear. In the ""Juichi mura murakagami"" chronicle written in 1774, the temple is listed with the descriptor ""Shingon-shu Kami-daigo Hoon-in Matsuji,"" and accordingly it is thought that it was originally a Shingon Buddhist branch temple. The main temple building has been designated an Important Cultural Property."

    円福寺は、750年頃に行基が創建したと伝えられている真言律宗のお寺です。 鎌倉時代に再建された本堂は興福寺の塔頭から移されたもので、あまり大きくありませんが重要文化財に指定されています。 境内にある宝篋印塔は鎌倉時代に花崗岩で作られたもので、これも重要文化財に指定されていました。

  • Ikoma Cable Car

    Nara Pref. Ikomashi Motomachi 1-10-1
    This is a cable car that runs through Ikoma City, Nara Prefecture. The cable car runs from Toriimae Station, a three-minute walk from Ikoma Station, to Hosenji Station where visitors transfer to Ikoma-sanjo Station. The journey is approximately 16 minutes one way. The cable car is often used to visit Ikomasanjo Amusement Park, only a short walk from Ikoma-sanjo Station. The four types of cars decorated wholly as characters are something to talk about.

    Nara Ikoma-shi Tawaraguchicho 841

    行基が開基した寺で、本堂は重要文化財である。また、同寺に保存している金銅能作生塔は、国宝である。寺自体は非常に小さく2-3分で寺を散策出来る。常時入り口の木戸は閉じられているが、その木戸の止め木を外して参拝するのは許可されている。木戸を常時開放しているのは、地蔵盆の時期と正月だけである。歴史を好きな方はお奨めかも。無名な寺であるが、情緒は感じられる。

    Nara Pref. Ikomashi Hagiharachou 144

    竜田川沿いの南北線168号線を生駒駅から南下してくると、古くからの農村と新しい住宅地が交互に現れる。 生駒山脈奈良側は起伏が多い山地であるから次の集落へは一度国道にもどらねば団地からも出にくいこともある。

    御祈祷や滝(瀧)行にはご縁がなかったので詳しくはない。しかし近鉄生駒駅の西改札口から直線距離で約700m、70mほど登ったところの行場は知らなかった。またお隣の大乗滝寺の由来も理解出来た。 徒歩なら生駒駅から川沿いに行くこともできるが、県道生駒停車場宝山寺線経由ならば南陽院専用駐車場に５台停めることができる。大乗滝寺の前を約200m登ると、体育館関係の大駐車場もある。

    生駒駅は大阪難波から近鉄トンネルを抜けて2~30分ということで発展著しい。生駒山脈の奈良側は起伏が多く、竜田川のそれぞれの支流沿いに田畑が拓かれ、集落ごとに寺社が存在する。豊かな農村であった。 圓光寺は往馬(いこま)大社の北側の住宅地の中にある。

Nara Areas

around-area-map

With a reputation almost as stellar as that of Kyoto, Nara is a must-visit for those searching for the remains of "traditional Japan." The largely green Nara city holds the majority of the prefecture’s treasures, such as the iconic Todai-ji Temple, in which a 15-meter tall Great Buddha sits, and Nara Park, where deer flock to befriend passersby. While mountains are by no means hard to come by in this area, for hiking with a reward, head to the Kii Mountains’ Yoshino district in spring, when the hillsides put on an impressive display of white and pink cherry blossoms.
