Hyotanyama is the name of a station on the Kintetsu Nara Line in Higashiosaka City. Nearby attractions include Hyotanyama Tumulus, Hyotanyama Inari Shrine, and the Hyotanyama Central Shopping Street. The keyhole-shaped burial mound dates back to the 6th century and resembles a gourd, giving the area its name. The site is part of the Yamabata Tumulus Cluster, which contains over 60 burial mounds. The shopping street known as "Sunroad Hyotanyama" was established in 1947 and became Japan’s first arcade built over a national road in 1948.

Hyotanyama Shopping Street, located right near the station and facing the old Route 170, is a retro-feeling shopping street. It has restaurants such as sushi, okonomiyaki, and tapioca drink shops, as well as an enka-specialty CD shop and kimono stores. A popular service here is “Smile Takkyubin,” where goods purchased at participating stores can be delivered to your home the same day for a delivery fee of just 300 yen.
