Daito City, in Kitakawachi, takes its name from the phrase "light comes from the east." On Mt. Iimori are the ruins of Iimoriyama Castle, home of Miyoshi Nagayoshi, and at its foot there was once the large Fukano Pond. It prospered as a key point on the Higashi-Koya Kaido road linking Osaka and Nara, and today the area around Suminodo Station is its center.
