The area of Tomidabayashi in southern Osaka offers a more relaxed pace while remaining within reach of the metropolis. An interesting local fact is that Tomidabayashi is home to one of Japan's oldest preserved historical townscapes, the "Tomidabayashi Jinaimachi," a temple town layout dating back to the 16th century that has been designated an Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings. The closest major landmark and tourist attraction is the iconic Kanshin-ji Temple, a historic Buddhist temple with a stunning main hall designated as a National Treasure, located just a short drive away.
