Tadeiyama Kofun

The Tadeiyama burial mound stretches 148 meters in length with a keyhole shape, featuring a double moat system around its central tumulus structure.

Construction of this imperial tomb occurred during the fifth century, marking a significant period in Japanese burial architecture and royal traditions.

Archaeological discoveries at Tadeiyama Kofun include numerous terra-cotta figures and Sue ware pottery pieces, representing ancient Japanese funerary practices.

Visitors can reach the burial mound through Sakai-higashi Station on the Nankai Koya Line, with regular trains running throughout the day.

The tomb contains two additional burial mounds within its complex, making it a rare example of multiple interment sites in Japanese imperial architecture.
