The path up to Kannon temple is lined with cherry blossom and fields rape blossom. In spring the bright yellow fields and cherry trees attract visitors from both Kyotanabe and further afield. The fields were planted in 2000 thanks to the cooperation of the Kyotanabe Tourism Association and local volunteers. Every year the Tourism Association holds a "Hanami Walk" event during which many people visit the temple and pick rape blossoms to take home.

The trees lining 700m of the Kokuzoudani River are Yoshino (somei yoshino) and Oshima (ooshima) cherry trees. They appear to overflow with blossom in spring, bowing over the river and path. The blossom can also be enjoyed at night thanks to the care and maintenance by the Nishihachi Sakura-namiki Aigo Group. Mid-season the trees are lit up with paper lanterns. This is one of few hanami spots in southern Yamashiro.

This peony garden is located to the north of the Tennou bus stop where the road steeply slopes up. The best time to come is towards the end of April and the beginning of May, when approximately 1000 trees are in bloom. The garden was built at the start of the Showa era (1926-1989) as a private garden, but gradually became famous and opened to the public free of charge in the late 50s. Now, many people visit in spring. The timing of the flowers blossoming may be checked on the garden's homepage. This garden is also home to a stone with a haiku poem by Katsura Shoukeishi :
Kumo ue ni                         Above the clouds
Sansou no botan                  At a mountain retreat
Afurento                             Will the peony overflow?

This is the main peak in Kyotanabe and its name is written with various Chinese characters meaning "the places where the gods are hidden." It is a treasured area to enjoy the beauty of the four seasons in an increasingly urbanising city. There are many different places to discover, including the "Cherry Blossom Forest", the "Forest of Autumn Leaves" where the change in the colour of the trees is most beautiful, the "Wild Bird Forest" where you can do a "Bird Walk", a grass lawn, and a viewing platform. This mountain has been famous since antiquity. The Suzaku Road ran through the ancient capital of Heiankyou (now Kyoto) from Kannabi Mountain in the South to Kyoto Rakuhoku Funaoka Mountain in the North. Kannanbi mountain also appears in a tale in the Konjaku Monogatari (early 12th century.). At the top, there is a small shrine.

This tumulus (ancient grave mound) is in the shape of two quadrangles and was built at the beginning of the 5th century. The tumulus itself is 66m long. The fore quadrangle is 18m wide and 1.5m high; the aft quadrangle is 36m long on one side and 4.5m high. The rectangular area around the tumulus thought to be a moat surrounding the clay around a stone pit where the coffin was laid. This tumulus was recognised as a national historical landmark in 1974. The Oosumi Minamizuka Tumulus to the West is the same size and shape. They are a rare example of two of these double-quadrangle tumuli (zenpoukouhoufun) side by side.

This red-brick aqueduct was once part of eight over-head rivers in Kyotanabe. Now only three are left. They have been nicknamed "Manbo" although it is not clear why. This manbo has train lines running under its triple arches.
