[Osaka] Let's go around the Seven Hills of Tennoji in Osaka⛩️

The seven slopes in Tennoji Ward, Osaka City, namely Shingonzaka, Genshojizaka, Kuchinawazaka, Aizenzaka, Shimizuzaka, Tenjinzaka, and Ousaka, are called the "Tennoji Seven Slopes" ⛩️ The quiet stone-paved slope Kuchinawazaka, which runs from Taiheiji to Matsuyamachi-suji, is said to have been named because the undulating road resembles a "kuchinawa" (snake) when viewed from the bottom of the slope, or because it is the place where rope-making began when Osaka Castle was built. It is also said that 🪱 At the top of the hill, there is a monument engraved with a passage from the novel "Ki no Miyako" by writer Oda Sakunosuke ✨ At the nearby Joshun-ji Temple, there are the graves of astronomy and calendar scholar Asada Goryu, painter Tanomura Takeda, and at Taihei-ji Temple, there are the graves of predecessors who were active during the Edo period, such as physician Kitayama Juan, and famous people in history are quietly watching over them ✨ In addition, Ume Kyu-in is also famous for its memorial tower for Matsuo Basho ✨ 🔶Shimodera-cho 2-chome to Yuhigaoka-cho, Tennoji-ku, Osaka City 🚇3 minutes walk from Shitennoji-mae Yuhigaoka Station on the Osaka Metro Tanimachi Line #Osaka #OsakaTrip #SlopeTour #Tennoji #tripmemory2022
