Mitsujō Kofun

Long Barrow in Honshū

A reconstructed keyhole-shaped tumulus in a residencial area, not so far away from the Hiroshima airport. Like the other recently reconstructed tumuli, this one is accompanied with tube "haniwa"s which seem to have been used as the collapse-prevention post, and unique 'sun-shade hat ' haniwa's.
The tumulus is now preserved in a historical park along with a round tumulus and a small oval-shaped tumulus arranged in a line.
