This mound is 230 meters long and is thought to have had a double moat when it was first constructed. It is the fourth largest giant keyhole-shaped kofun (mounded tomb) of the Furuichi Kofun Group and the nineteenth largest in Japan. During the early Meiji era (1868–1912), it was determined to be the mausoleum of Emperor Ingyo, the 19th legendary emperor of Japan. It is also known as the Ichinoyama Kofun. Many artifacts dating from the mid-5th century have been excavated here, including cylindrical haniwa (clay figures); haniwa in the shape of dogs, horses, and human figures; and Sue ware bowls with lids.

Domyoji Temple is a Buddhist convent that originated from Hajidera Temple, which was built in the mid-7th century as the clan temple of the Haji clan. This is the place where Sugawara no Michizane (845–903), a descendant of the Haji clan, visited his aunt, Kakujuni, on his way to Dazaifu in Kyushu. When the temple was first built, it was located near the southern approach to the present-day Domyoji Tenmangu Shrine. The foundation of the central pillar of the pagoda still remains there to this day. Later, it was moved to the precincts of Domyoji Tenmangu Shrine due to devastation caused by fires during the Sengoku period (1467–1568) and flooding in Ishikawa during the Edo period (1603-1867). In 1868, the Meiji government enacted an order separating Shinto from Buddhism, and the shrine was finally moved to its current location. The temple’s principal image of worship (honzon) is a statue of the standing Juichimen Kannon (Eleven-Headed Kannon), a National Treasure. It can be viewed on the 18th and 25th every month. The temple is also famous as the birthplace of Domyoji Hoshii (dehydrated rice) and Domyoji-ko (glutinous rice flour), which are known as the ingredients for Japanese sweets such as Kansai-style sakura mochi (Domyoji mochi), a pink-colored rice cake wrapped in a salt-pickled cherry leaf and filled with sweet azuki bean paste.

Fujiidera Temple was built during the Hakuho period (late 7th century) as the clan temple of the ancient Fujii clan. It is the fifth temple of the Saikoku Kannon Pilgrimage, a pilgrimage route covering thirty-three Buddhist temples in the Kansai region that enshrine the bodhisattva Kannon (Avalokiteshvara). As such, it draws worshippers and pilgrims from all across Japan. The principal image of worship (honzon) at the temple is a dry lacquer statue of the seated Senju Kannon (Thousand-Armed Kannon), which is a National Treasure of Japan. It is the only Buddhist statue from the Nara period (710–794) in Osaka Prefecture and is unveiled on the 18th day of every month.
