This is the longest course, starting from JR East Neyagawa Station (Higashi
Neyagawa Eki) to Keihan Kayashima Station (Keihan Kayashima Eki) along Saragawa
River. After touring around the remains and tumuli spotted in the pastoral landscape
that we rarely see in the city area now, you can take a rest in the South Neyagawa
Park (Minami Neyagawa Koen) that is popular as the "Citizens' Forest"
(Shimin-no Mori). This is the course you can enjoy leisurely picnic time.

○Dainen-ji Temple

It used to be called Okan-ji Temple for a while after built in 1312. Since the location faces an arterial road of transportation Kyu-Moriguchi Kaido (Gyoki no Michi) connected to Yamato Country (Yamato-no Kuni) beyond Ikoma Mountain Range, there was a barrier station established here. The Bodhisattva of Mercy with 11 faces is accommodated in Kannon-do Pavilion, and there is the stone plate monument of 13 images of Buddha built in Muromachi Period at the side of the main pavilion.
