Haze Nisanzai Kofun

The Haze Nisanzai Kofun features a keyhole-shaped design with a total length of 300 meters and stands 25 meters high with three distinct tiers.

Built in the 5th century, this burial mound belongs to the Mozu Tombs complex and holds significance as a possible resting place for Emperor Hansei.

The tomb structure includes ceremonial spaces, clay figures, and moats that demonstrate ancient Japanese burial practices and social hierarchies of the period.

Visitors can reach the tomb by taking the Nankai Koya Line to Nakamozu Station, followed by a 20-minute walk through the historical district.

The tomb contains dual moats with evidence of wooden bridges that were likely used during funeral ceremonies in ancient times.
