Sakai City is blessed with rich and varied history and culture. Within the city you can find the Nintoku-ryo Tumulus, the largest tumulus in the world and just one of the Mozu Tumulus Cluster, alongside historic temples and shrines, the sights of the old town in the Shichido area, the tea culture created by Sen no Rikyu, and traditional industry that includes cutlery, incense sticks and bicycles. Come and experience the history and culture of Sakai for yourself!
Additionally, a gas balloon service is scheduled to begin operation in October of this year, allowing visitors to enjoy the long-awaited views of the Mozu Kofun Group from above. Be sure to stop by the Osaka Prefecture/Sakai Tourism and Convention Association booth to get the latest information on gas balloons. We look forward to seeing you there.
