Ibaraki City is in Hokusetsu between Osaka and Kyoto and is connected with the Christian daimyo Takayama Ukon. In the northern mountains, people secretly kept their faith even after Christianity was banned, and the city has Ota Chausuyama Kofun, the largest keyhole-shaped mound in northern Osaka Prefecture. Kawabata Yasunari spent his boyhood here, and the city has a literary museum.
