At the end of the Edo period, Osaka merchants funded the erection of a signpost at a three-way junction. Now a road toward the station has been built, making it a crossroads. The Board of Education excavated Okamotochō 3-4, but nothing in particular was found, and no remains of a large residence could be confirmed. There was a well here until the Shōwa era.

A crossroads in Hirakata-juku where the Kyō Kaidō and Iwafune Kaidō intersect, with a sense of history. In the Edo period, the oil merchant Sumino Sōza lived around here.

Lots of people walking by here too and it was lunchtime, so I probably looked like a suspicious person, but I shot a video Walking the Kyō Kaidō, you get lost here 馬《●▲●》助 Neeeigh♪

It was behind (?) the Keihan Department Store, on the road from Hirakatashi Station to Biorne.

Kado no Sōza's huge mansion used to be here. Apparently they ran an oil business here in the Edo period. Because there was a lot of foot traffic, a stone marker was made as a signpost.
