Japanese Old Housing and Eifukuji Temple Tour
This is a local tour from Tondabayashi in South Osaka to Taishi-cho. Terauchi-machi in Tondabayashi is an old town from the Edo period, and the Sugiyama House in particular has been designated as a cultural asset. After sightseeing the streets, participants will take part in a workshop to make red seal booklets. A red seal book is a certificate with a seal issued by a temple or shrine as a proof of visit to the temple or shrine. After completing the red seal book, we will have an early lunch at an old house in Terauchi-machi and then head to Eifukuji Temple. Eifukuji Temple is a historic temple said to have been built by Emperor Suiko to honor Prince Shotoku. After completing the tour of Eifukuji Temple and getting a mark in the red seal book, we will return to Kishi Station. Unlike tours in Osaka City and Kyoto City, you will enjoy a tour of southern Osaka where time passes more slowly.
