Ishibutai Kofun Tumulus
This tumulus houses the mausoleum of Umako of the powerful Soga clan, under whose orders Zenshin-ni entered nunhood as a child. All the earth that once covered the stone chamber has eroded over time to expose the gigantic ceiling stones. Walk inside the tomb and be overwhelmed by the size of these rocks!
