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.

Hu Siwang Mountain

Since Kenji Miyazawa wrote in his notebook that this mountain is ``the mountain where you should bury your sutras,'' the Kenji Memorial Hall and Ihatov Hall were built on the same site, which is one of the mountains with which Kenji has the deepest connection. Kenji wrote a poem about Hu Shiwang, and also mentioned Mt. Hu Shiwang in his unfinished literary poem ``The Hill.''
