岡峯古墳 - Yoshino District

A large sword has been excavated.

It is a wonderful old burial mound.

Excavations are exhibited at the Shimoichi Tourism and Culture Center. It is on the 2nd floor next to Shimoichi Municipal Library. On the 1st floor, there are exhibits related to Shimoichi Town, which are far away.

The mound is managed by the municipality. It is usually locked and can be visited in the presence of the town board of education. The ceiling stone is four megaliths of chlorite, and the stone chamber is a chlorite schist. A stone shelf of one chlorite schist is installed at a height of 1.4 m. The sarcophagus is made of chlorite schist and there is no slab at the bottom of the casket. It is a late tumulus that feels the influence of Mr. Ki.

Shimoichi / Okamine Kofun The prefecture-designated cultural property, Okamine Kofun, is located on the hill on the north-facing slope of the left bank of the Yoshino River, in Achiga, Shimoichi. It seems that the place name Achiga has recently become known in anime. By the way, it is known that the Okamine Kofun and the ring-headed sword of the oldest arabesque pattern in Japan were excavated, but it is also characteristic that it has a stone chamber with a stone shelf. Only three cases, Mine Kofun and Heguri Town / Misato Kofun, have been detected. Although it is a powerful family who built this tumulus, the tumulus equipped with a stone chamber with a stone shelf is a tumulus-building style that can be seen densely in the Ishibashi Chizuka tumulus group in the lower reaches of the Kino River in Wakayama Prefecture. It is probable that the influence of was affecting this area through the Yoshino River. * The Heguri-cho and Misato burial mounds are geographically far apart, but the Shikinai Meishin Taisha Shrine and the Hegurisuwakishi Shrine are enshrined just west of the Misato burial mound and enshrine the Emperor's clan and Ki. Ki and Emperor Betsuki are connected through Takenouchi no Sukune (Takenouchi no Sukune's mother is the daughter of the Kamibetsu Ki Kokuzo family, one of Takenouchi no Sukune's children is Takenouchi no Sukune, and his brother is Heguri Kisakujuku). Another feature is the opening direction of the tumulus. Most of the general burial mounds open to the south, but the instruction manual states that they open to the west. However, in reality, it opens in the west-northwest direction of 292.5 °. There is Mt. Kongo (ancient Mt. Katsuragi) on this extension of the opening direction, and what kind of argument would a theorist who tries to find the attribute of the burial person in the opening direction make? By the way, at the foot of Mt. Kongo, Mr. Osaka and Mr. Narahara, who are tribes of the Kikuni builder, were set up.

It seems that you can tour the inside if you ask the Board of Education, but it is terrible for your personal hobby to come to the tour in less than 5 minutes. If you have a telephoto lens, a strobe and a flashlight, you can take a picture as you can see. If you don't have a flashlight, the net in the foreground will be in focus, so you can take a picture as you can see by illuminating it with a flashlight so that it is in focus at the back, but you can take a picture that looks like it is along a shelf. not.
