I'm glad to intorduce an old town, Jinaimachi, Tondabayashi, Osaka, Japan as a national historic district and heritage site.
It takes 30 minutes from Osaka city to Tondabayashi station by Kintetsu railways. A 10-minutes walk will take you to the historic town.

Saturday, November 8, 2014 It became a slightly chilly day probably because it was past the beginning
of winter on the calendar or probably because it was cloudy with occasional
patches of sunshine. On the way, the photo sessions were also held in front of the main gate of Koushouji Betsuin Buddhist temple, an important cultural property of the country as well as at the terminal point of the former residence of the Sugiyama family designated as an important cultural property of the country, and many camera fans in a row continued to shoot the scene by flash photography for a while. |

| A bride parade was over, and when it became dark, an old wedding ceremony
(model) was held solemnly in the important cultural property of the former residence of the Sugiyama family, which was sponsored by the Tondabayashi Jinaimachi culture trust and
the cultural assets section of Tondabayashi Municipality Board of Education.
In front of the approximately 70 audience that could obtain an admission
ticket beforehand, the bridal couple was seated in the center and the matchmaker
sat down on both sides of the bridal couple backed by the gold-leaf folding
screen, and two Shinto priests from Tondabayashi Sabi Shinto Shrine began to play the performance
of the sho (sheng in Chinese, a kind of free read) and the flute. After
the bridal couple raised a toast for wedding celebration, the performance
of the congratulatory address (takas ago) was sang, and the dance of the
Ishikawa style were shown, and the traditional wedding ceremony was finished
smoothly. The bridal couple was the genuine couple who just married in
July. In order that we may inherit the history and the traditional culture of Jinaimachi, I wish we could have such an opportunity as the traditional style of real wedding ceremony in former residence of the Tanaka family and the former residence of Sugiyama family someday in the future, which are opened to the public. |

I visited the popular bakery shop which utilized the old private house
at the south end of Jyounomonsuji street in the early afternoon. The simple
handmade bun which is solely made of homemade natural yeast and Japanese domestic wheat, the
texture of the bun seems like French bread, and you can enjoy the unique
texture with natural flavor clogged up. While you may order bread and drinks
including coffee, then you can eat in the guest room with Japanese style
tatami mats, facing the courtyard. |

| Sunday, November 9, 2014 A guest house named Tomari-ya It was a drizzling day from early morning. The bad weather made the town
quiet as no visitors from a distant place could be seen on the street and
the wet roof tiles of a traditional townhouse made us feel the quiet appearance
of the historic district. On this day, six persons enjoyed cooking onigiri by speaking English each other, including a British woman teacher of a bilingual preschool in Osaka since April, 2013 as well as those from an English speaking café in Fujiidera. The interior of the house is going to be retrofitted from December. After the guest house opens, I wish many personal woman tourists to stay up including foreign tourists. I hope the tourist attractions of the unfamiliar traditional townscape and quiet atmosphere in Jinaimachi are to be known by word of mouth, or by the information being sent all over the world.

Koushouji Betsuin Temple (Tondabayashi Gobo)
Koushouji Betsuin Temple is a temple of Jodo Shinshu School (Ikkoushuu School),
which became the center of the development and establishment of Jinaimachi
town in Tondabayashi . It has been popular as Mr. Gobo (Tondabayashi Gobo)
among the local residents.
During the Ouei period (1394-1412years) , the
The temple gate looks toward the east and the Jyounomon-suji street. Those buildings such as the bell tower, the drum tower, the main hall,
the reception hall and priest's quarters are set up and arranged.
The main gate has refined style and it became clear in a recent investigation
that the gate was further relocated from Koushouji temple in Kyoto, which
was originally said to be dismantled and reconstructed from one of the
gates at Fushimi castle in Kyoto.
Koushouji Betsuin Temple was designated as an important cultural property
