竜田御坊山3号墳

The burial mound extends 98 meters in length with varying widths between 25 and 50 meters and reaches a maximum height of 9 meters.

Archaeological investigations since 1985 uncovered a stone pit burial chamber containing bronze mirrors, iron artifacts, and a split bamboo-shaped coffin from before 250 CE.

The burial structure represents the traditions of the Kofun period, when regional rulers constructed large tombs filled with items for the afterlife.

The burial mound functions as a public park, allowing visitors to explore the archaeological site while maintaining its protected status as a National Historic Site.

Located on an alluvial fan between Mount Rokkō and Osaka Bay, this tomb belongs to a cluster of burial mounds that made Ikaruga an important center.
