Historical Site Round tumulus 7th century
This tomb has a laterally entered crypt constructed of stones which were split in such a way as to re-semble sen (a sort of ceramic brick). Plaster was applied to the walls and ceiling. There is an additional rear chamber at the back of the burial crypt, and the slab of stone at the entrance to this rear.chamber was designed to open and close like a door. Strong influences from Korean kofun are recognized in both the crypt design and the manner of stone emplacement.
