Chausuyama (Tennoji Park)
It was the site of battles between the Toyotomi and Tokugawa clans during the Winter and Summer Sieges of Osaka. At 26m above sea level, it is considered one of the five lowest mountains in Osaka.
Chausuyama, which rises southwest of Shitennoji, is known as the site of the Battle of Chausuyama (Tennojiguchi), and was the headquarters of Tokugawa Ieyasu during the Winter Siege of Osaka, and of Sanada Yukimura on the Toyotomi side during the Summer Siege. Historical documents, maps, and stone monuments depicting the Battle of Osaka are installed at the summit. The surrounding area is Tennoji Park, and at the foot of the mountain is Kawazokoike Pond, which is said to be the site of a pond excavated by Wake no Kiyomaro in 788 (Enryaku 7) to drain the Yamato River and Lake Kawachi and transport water. Visitors can cross the pond via Wakebashi Bridge, which connects the park to Chausuyama.
