Tondabayashi Jinaimachi is located at the center of the city, on a fluvial terrace at left bank of the Ishi river and the midstream.[4] Most of old town area fall within the jurisdiction of Tondabayashi-cho(富田林町), rest of the area is in Hon-machi(本町). Tondabayashi-cho adhere fundamentally to the old town since edo piriod.

The town has an area of 12.9 hectares.[3] It was formed in an ellipsoidal form, measuring 400m from east to west and 350m from north to south.[4] The town layout was designed with a grid plan, which consists of 6 streets in a north-south direction, 7 streets in an east-west direction in the town. There are 25 quadrilateral town blocks in center, and 16 irregular town blocks in the outer edge.[5]

The relative elevation is about 10m from the river to the town.[4] It used a natural terrace cliff to construct the earthworks(土居, doi) with bamboo groves at the eastern, southern and western edge of the town, and the dug-out moat(堀割, horiwari) at the northern edge.[5]

History

About 1558(Eiroku 1), Kosho-ji temple obtained a wasteland of the Tonda(富田) for temple grounds. Kosho-ji temple cooperated with 8 headmans(八人衆) to construct a branch temple, town blocks, residences and dry fields. They changed name of Jinaimachi to Tondabayashi(富田林).[6]

In sengoku period, Kosho-ji branch temple(興正寺別院) and Jinaimachi were granted privileges and immunities by authorities.[7] Town peoples governed autonomously against a background of religious authority of Kosho-ji temple.[7]

Over edo period, though the town forfeited privileges and immunities in early edo period, the town had been developed as Zaigoumachi(在郷町, merchant town in country side).[8] Many peoples came out from surrounding villages, the town prospered with wealthy merchants who deal in lumber, cotton, rapeseed oil, and sake.[8]

After Meiji Restoration, the town continued to prosper as the political and commercial center of southern Kawachi.[9] From latter Meiji period onward, the town headed gradually decline on the grounds of an opening of railway, land reform, motorization.[10] As a result of that it was left out of postwar development, the town bring down old townscape.[11]
