黒塚古墳 - Tenri

It's a very quiet and calm place. The scenery is good in spring, summer, autumn and winter. The people who drop in also take the trash home, and the people of the preservation society cooperate with the community to make it beautiful.

The 130-meter-long tumuli-shaped tumulus was built at the end of the third century. 33 triangular beast mirrors were excavated in good condition and became a hot topic. According to Wei Zhi Wajinden, the emperor of Wei becomes Himiko There is a statement that he gave 100 bronze mirrors as King Wei Wang, No other burial mound was buried in such a large amount This triangular beast mirror is the copper mirror, There is a theory that this area may be Jimatai. It was since the survey briefing, but it was too clean Although it is a little lacking in fun, the museum next door Interesting because there is a display of a replica of the stone room.

It is an old burial mound where a large number of triangular-rimmed beast mirrors were excavated. It seems to be the oldest among the Yanagimoto burial mounds represented by the Gyotoyama burial mound. The rear circle is said to have been used as a castle during the Muromachi period. It seems that there was a cut between the front part and the rear part.

You can enter the mound and it is easy to walk because it is well maintained. There is a detailed explanation board at the top of the keyhole-shaped tumulus when excavating a bronze mirror. I thought it was very rare and kind to explain the situation at the time of excavation in detail at the site. It seems that it was converted into a castle during the Warring States period, but by chance, a bronze mirror was excavated, and it was maintained so carefully, and I felt that it was an old burial mound that I had. You can also visit by car at the parking lot of the Kurozuka Tumulus Exhibition Hall, so you can take a leisurely stroll including the exhibition hall.

It is said that it is a very valuable old burial mound where the famous mirror of Himiko, which I have seen in textbooks, was excavated. It is in very good condition and there is an exhibition hall next to it. It was a nice and peaceful place, as the neighbors seemed to take a walk course.

It is an old burial mound that used to be the location of "The Fantastic Deer Man" (although the location is the museum next door). It used to be a park, and weeds are cut appropriately, so it's easy to visit. There is a municipal parking lot for visitors behind FamilyMart on the north side of the tumulus. You can go to the tumulus as soon as you pass through the site of the Council of Social Welfare from the parking lot.

If you think that you can only look at an old burial mound like a front-rear burial mound from the side or from the top of a nearby tall building, you can go up here because the promenade is maintained. It's a small burial mound, so you can easily reach the top, but the view is surprisingly good.
