Explore One of the World’s Largest Tombs in Sakai

Join me on a unique walking tour through the Mozu Kofungun (Mozu Tombs), one of the most historically significant and mysterious sites in all of Japan, located in Sakai, just south of central Osaka. We’ll explore the area surrounding the Daisenryo Kofun, one of the world’s largest burial mounds and believed to be the tomb of Emperor Nintoku. As we walk through quiet forest paths, ancient moats, and scenic viewing points, you’ll hear fascinating stories from Japan’s Kofun period, a time of powerful clans, early emperors, and architectural marvels. We’ll also visit the Observation Platform for a panoramic view of the tomb and, optionally, stop by the Sakai City Museum to learn more through exhibits and archaeological finds. Whether you're a history enthusiast or a curious traveler looking for something off the beaten path, this tour will reveal a rarely seen side of Japan’s imperial past.
