《View》
There is on the east of Osaka plain. The part of west is urban area and a lot of apartment. East area is at the foot of Ikoma mountains.

I got off the train at Kyuuhouji station.
It have proceed urban development recently, so built a high-rise apartment but
there is a lot space land yet.
Yao centre is close to Kintestu Yao station, but around of Kyuhouji station will be good urban area in the future.

I took this picture because I think this is purple and white wonderful flower.

                          [Yao airport]
That is small airport in Osaka.
It is available as a sightseeing flight, aerial photograph and private jet. So I heard engine sound at almost times when I walked around there.

                       [Onji-jinja shrine]
This is built about A.D470 for protection of Kawachi area(the part of east Osaka)

It is said 卯(Rabbit) and 辰(Dragon) are familiar of the god this shrine.
It seems Rabbit showed the god the way, so this shrine give good luck for traffic safety.
Dragon have good luck for happiness of life.
