Osaka midori no hyaku-sen (81-90)

Fantastic castle, lots to do and see. You can't miss the M100 stone taking the usual route walking through.
82. 泉穴師神社の森
Date of photo: 2023/02
An excellent shrine, right in the middle of a residential area, but with really impressive trees. It was very rainy when we visited, but we still had a good time walking around and exploring. The M100 stone is no issue to find.
83. 二色の浜の松林

This park is huge, and the M100 stone is in a rather arbirary location, but if you walk around and keep your eyes open, you should be able to find it. When we visited, the stone rather humorously had a water recreation device attached to it.
84. 水間観音とその周辺
Date of photo: 2023/03
A great temple, very well-known and easy to access. Also, a great park adjacent to the temple, lots of fun to explore. Unfortunately, the M100 stone was quite difficult to find. It is in a bizarre location. It is *above* the west side of the road (route 170) running north-south along the west side of the temple. As I always like to mention, the engraved name is not the officially documented name, but rather simply 水間観音.
85. 稲倉池

This pond, as well as the M100 stone, really are in the middle of nowhere. There wasn't a soul around all day there. We enjoyed walking around the pond though. The M100 is along the road running along the east side of the pond.
86. 犬鳴山の渓谷

This is a fantastic hiking course, as is the temple (七宝瀧寺). Really wonderful. Finding the M100 stone is also very easy walking up from the lower-most parking lot.
87. 大井関公園

This one was a bit tricky to find. The park of interest is hidden behind a shrine called 日根神社. On the south side of the shrine, you can find a path along the river/valley running parallel to the shrine, which will take you to the park of interest. The M100 stone is just before a set of stairs which leads to a neat bridge. The shrine has a number of visitors, but I doubt the park gets many visitors these days.
88. 光明池

An absolute beauty of a park, the scenery is just great, especially in the fall. As you can see from the above photo, the M100 stone is not far from the big bridge in the middle of the south half of the park, which is by far the most scenic.
89. 槙尾山と施福寺
Date of photo: 2023/08
A great little hike, really scenic and rich with history. Quite a popular spot it seems, lots of hikers around. I worked up a sweat carrying a small child the whole way up. The M100 stone is very easy to find.
90. 伽羅橋公園
Date of photo: 2023/01
There was a scenic park in front of the Nankai train station 伽羅橋駅, but due to train line renovations, the park has undergone significant construction. I tried to take a peek in by climbing up a nearby wall, but the M100 stone was nowhere in sight. Apparently the construction has finished, so we'll have to go and see if the stone has been returned to its original location or not.
