Located at the southeastern end of the Mozu cluster, it is the 7th largest keyhole-shaped burial mound in Japan. It features an extremely well-ordered, beautiful shape, with a wide moat and lush greenery reflecting on the water to create a mystical landscape. At dusk, the silhouette of the mound floating on the water becomes a beautiful photo spot, letting you strongly feel ancient romance. Recommended for those wishing to feel the authority of ancient kings and peaceful flow of time in a quiet setting.
