The majesty seen from the Fukamachi Station platform on the Nankai Tanagawa Line seemed to be a huge Japanese-style inn in a hot spring area. When you go up the pedestrian bridge, you will lead to the precincts of the temple as it is. It is known as a fossil temple. In the fossil exhibition room on the 3rd floor, the fossil of the Nauman elephant has been pulled up from the offshore of Tomogashima, and is exhibited together with other excavated works and works of art. This is due to the high hobbies of the former chief priest. Please contact us in advance to visit the fossils.

The fossil exhibits are worth a look.

It is right next to Nankai Fukamachi Station. It has been famous as a fossil temple for a long time, and although I don't know if it was excavated here, many fossil collections are on display. I think it's okay to see it depending on the time of worship.

I worshiped at Jizo Sacred Ground.

It is also known as a fossil temple, and is a temple of the Nishiyama Jodo sect with more than １０００ fossils and inscriptions. It can be presumed that it is a temple that boasts a fairly old auspicious because it has a spirit tablet of the former lord of this area and is engraved on the back of the first year of Tentoku and the year ９５７. Fossils are also enormous, and some of them are １ ammonites that have become fossils in almost complete shape, and many academic and valuable things such as the molars of the Naumann elephant.
