| Kuragarigoe Nara Road |
There were some main Roads, for instance
" Kusakano Tadagoemichi " and others,
connected with the Heijokyo (the capital)
in the Nara period. The Tadagoemichi was
the shortest to the capital, running straight
from Osaka toward east, crossing the Ikoma
mountains. We are now able to trace the Kuragarigoe
Nara Road, which is partly overlapped with
the Tadagoemichi Road It was also crowded
from the Edo period with those who went to
the Ise Shrine.
The Road which is winding from Tamatsukuri
toward east, crossing the Tamatsubashi bridge
toward southeast, has a vestige of its prosperity.
We are able to find some guide posts which
tell us the distance from the starting point
of Koraibashi or others which was enough
designed to be used as an all -night light. |

| Nara Road |
| The Road which was the shortest course
to Nara was a steep path to cross the Ikoma
mountains, so there were some other flat
Roads. One of them was the Nara Road which
is almost overlapped with Route 25. Even
now it is partly running through the old
town of Hirano district, but almost all of
it is a main road crowded with cars running
at full speed. |

| Shuntoku Road |
| The Shuntoku Road is running from the south
gate of Shitennoji temple toward east, crossing
the central part of Ikuno-ku from west to
east. We are able to find a vestige of the
Road from a loop line of JR railways to Imazato
street, and an image of Jizo or a bridge
named Shuntoku survived around the Road (Shuntokumaru
is the leading part of a play first performed
in 1660) . |

| Nakakoya Road |
| The Nakakoya Road is a long path divided
from Moriguchi district which is situated
along the Kyokaido road, running through
this ward from south to north to meet the
Nishikoya Road at Osakasayama City. It is
running along the old historic towns, so
we feel calm taking a walk around here. |
