Kawachinagano Volunteer Guide Club
Volunteer guides with detailed knowledge about thehistory and culture of Kawachinagano will give you toursof shrines, temples, and ancient/historical roadways.

Said to have been founded by Gyoki in the Nara period, it is nicknamed “NyoninKoya.” During the Northern and Southern Courts period, when the imperial
court was split, there were two “provisional palaces” here, separated by a wall.
This legacy is why Kongoji has a lot of historical and cultural heritage.
