| The Kyokaido Road was an important
road running from the Kyobashiguchi of the
Osaka Castle (later from Koraibashi bridge)
as its starting position to Kyoto. Toyotomi Hideyoshi improved the Yodogawa river bank in the year of Bunroku(1592〜1596) and made use of it as the Road. The Road was meant to connect with Fushimi and Momoyama for his political purpose. There are some remains left to remind us of its prosperity such as road-signs located at the planting of the northern part of Kyobashi Station of Keihan Line and Miyakojima Ward Office, the once official bridge of Kyobashi, the site of Nodabashi bridge and "Nanamagari" road where it was curved on purpose to stop the marching of enemy troops. We are now erecting road-signs or monuments in memory of historic sites of our ancestors along the Road. |
