Jusan Pass is located on the Jusan Kaido (a road connecting Kandatsu in Yao City and Heguri County) and is located on the border between Osaka and Nara. In the early modern period, it was a popular route for those travelling from Osaka to Ise Shrine. At the pass, there is a stone Jizo statue (1765), erected by the villagers of Fukukihata in hopes of ensuring the safety of travelers, and there are also road signs for the road (1689) and signs to Matsuo-ji Temple. On the north side of the pass, there is the Jusanzuka, from which the name originated, and it is designated as an Important Cultural Property. This route is also called "Narihira Road," and it is said to be the road that Ariwara no Narihira, a poet of the early Heian period and one of the Six Immortal Poets, took from Tenri to visit a woman in Kandatsu. Heguri Town has put up information boards for the central course, nicknamed "Jusan Kaido and Narihira's Romantic Road." [Source: Wooden information board (Fukihata, Heguri Town)] Also, there is an old road on the south side of the currently used paved road, where there are old remains such as guideposts. It is a steeper climb with a gradient.

It is one of the main temples of the Hossō-shū, which assumes its origin in Yamashina-ku, a district of Kyoto, where it is said to have been founded by members of the Fujiwara clan in 669 as Yamashina-dera (山階寺). In 672, when the Jinshin Civil War took place, it is said to have been relocated to Asuka as Umayasaka-dera (厩坂寺), or to the area of the later Fujiwara-kyō in today's Nara Prefecture.

Kōfuku-ji (興福寺, Kōfuku-ji) is a Buddhist temple that was once one of the powerful Seven Great Temples in the city of Nara, Japan. The temple is the national headquarters of the Hossō school.

Inuyama Castle (犬山城, Inuyama-jō) is a yamajiro-style Japanese castle located in the city of Inuyama, Aichi Prefecture, Japan. The castle overlooks the Kiso River, which serves as the border between Aichi and Gifu Prefectures. The tenshu of Inuyama Castle, one of only 12 pre-modern tenshu remaining in existence, has been determined to be the oldest remaining tenshu, dating from the late 1580s. The castle has been a National Historic Site since 2018.

Two arches of different heights in a hyperbolic curve with the elevator shaft in the middle symbolize the “magnificent flow of water in Kiso Three Rivers”. The tower stands in Ichinomiya City. Since Ichinomiya sounds like 138 in Japanese, the height of the tower was determined to be 138 meters. Twin Arch 138 is Japan's first arch-type tower and is tallest of its kind in the East. Two high-speed elevators take the visitors to the observation platform at 100 above the ground in 70 seconds.

The origin of the temple is believed to be in Kyoto and the temple was rebuilt here in 710 when the capital was moved to Nara.
