Tsukuriyama Kofun

Built in the 5th century, this is a massive keyhole-shaped burial mound boasting a total length of about 350 meters, making it the 4th largest in Japan. Surprisingly, despite its scale, it is an extremely rare place where visitors are still permitted to climb and walk on top of the mound. Standing on the massive earthwork, you can experience the overwhelming power of the rulers of that time. This ancient, large-scale civil engineering heritage suddenly appearing in a peaceful rural landscape evokes historical romance comparable to the pyramids of Egypt, making it a must-visit spot for archaeology fans.

Bitchu Takamatsu Castle Ruins

This castle site is engraved in history for the "Water Attack," an astonishing tactic used by Toyotomi Hideyoshi during the Sengoku period. Currently maintained as a park, remnants such as the giant embankments built to besiege the castle still convey memories of the fierce battle of that time. Especially in summer, beautiful lotus flowers bloom to fill the former moats, known as "Muneharu Lotus" to please the eyes of visitors. Along with the story of the castle lord Muneharu Shimizu, who protected his samurai pride to the end, you can quietly trace the place that became a major turning point...
