Mukoyama Forest Park

Mukoyama, which rises to the south of the town center, was developed as a forest park and completed in 1998. At the top, there is a monument to Gongen-sama with the motif of Hayachine Kagura, which is representative of Osako Town, as well as an observation deck. You can drive up to the observation deck that offers a panoramic view of Osako's townscape, but you can also climb over 600 stone steps from the foot of the mountain.
