Barrow Cemetery in Honshū
The greatest burial mound of the world: 486m×305m, 2718m round, 464124㎡ area. Typical Japanese keyhole-shaped tumulus from a bird's eye view, almost like a island on a moat from human view.
Attributed to the burial mound for Emperor Nintoku (257-399 CE) for a long time without any evidence, recently re-named after the place name of its location.
Administered by the Imperial Household Agency, landing is prohibited.
