A burial mound where you can only see the southeastern part of the mound. It's currently covered in grass, and it seems like a miracle that the stone monument hasn't been overgrown by plants. Strictly speaking, you can catch a glimpse of it from the northwest side of the mound, but it didn't seem worth photographing.
View on GoogleA satellite tomb (baichō) of Emperor Ojin's mausoleum. It's in a somewhat tucked-away spot within a factory's premises (parking lot?). You can see it from the Higashi-Koya Kaido side. According to excavation surveys, it was originally a two-tiered square tumulus 43 meters per side and 5 meters high. It once had a surrounding moat, and large quantities of cylindrical haniwa and figurative haniwa were reportedly unearthed.
View on GoogleThere was an information board, so I felt reassured, but when I first found it I hesitated, unsure whether I was allowed in since it's on a construction site. It's a two-tiered square tumulus, 43m per side and 5m high, surrounded by a 7.5m-wide moat. It's designated as the Ojin Imperial Mausoleum satellite tomb "Ro" detached site. The burial facility is unknown because the Imperial Household Agency won't allow surveys, but the outer moat—which is buried and outside the Agency's management—has been excavated: fukiishi stones were found on the mound and the inner side of the embankment, and cylindrical haniwa and figurative haniwa (canopies, houses, enclosures, human figures, shields, dogs, horses, chickens) were unearthed from the moat.
View on GoogleOriginally a square tumulus 43m per side, estimated to have been built in the mid-5th century. A satellite tomb of Emperor Ojin's mausoleum. Surveys of the surrounding ditch uncovered large quantities of Nara-period Haji ware and clay horse figurines, and from the lower layers, cylindrical haniwa and figurative haniwa. ( ̄o ̄)/ It's surrounded by houses, so seeing the whole thing is difficult. You can barely make it out from the southwest side of the tumulus, but that's probably private land too. ( ̄o ̄)/ It seems an information board was installed recently, so it finally looks like a World Heritage site.
View on GoogleI went for the Mozufuru card, but there's no way anyone would find this. There's no sign, and it's surrounded by houses so you'd never notice it, so if you're going, keep a map in hand and check your surroundings carefully.
