Kawachinagano City spreads in the mountains of Minamikawachi, and the south is called "Okukawachi." With many cultural properties, such as Kanshin-ji Temple, connected with the Kusunoki clan, and Kongo-ji Temple, which holds a National Treasure folding screen of the sun, moon and four seasons, it calls itself a "town of cultural properties." The Koya Kaido road passes through, and the nature of the Takihata 48 Waterfalls and Mt. Iwawaki is close at hand.
