  • Just 30 minutes from Osaka’s Namba Station lies Kawachinagano, a town where the past gently lingers in the air. Surrounded by deep greenery, with nearly 70% of its area covered in forest, this is a place where history breathes through every path, stone, and temple.
  • Nestled at the ancient crossroads of Kawachi, Kii, and Yamato provinces, Kawachinagano flourished during the medieval era as a key junction between Kyoto and Mount Koya. Pilgrimage roads such as the Amano, Osawa, and Koya routes still thread through the city, each lined with cultural treasures shaped by centuries of devotion.



  • Visit Amanosan Kongōji Temple, the“ women’s Koyasan,” where emperors once took refuge and where the Northern and Southern Courts briefly coexisted across temple walls. Explore Kanshinji Temple, Japan’s only temple to enshrine the Big Dipper, still drawing prayers from those who care for life ̶medical and caregiving professionals.


  • The town’s satoyama landscapes, historic castle ruins, and traditional sake breweries add quiet layers to the experience. Kawachinagano is a place where the ordinary becomes extraordinary, and where the heritage of faith and time reveals itself with every step.
  • Let the sacred roads guide you to stories long held in silence̶true treasures nurtured by history.
