About Shinbara-Nuyama Kofun Cluster
- Compare Ancient Shapes: We highly recommend observing the differences between the keyhole-shaped, square-shaped, and circular mounds to see the variety of ancient engineering firsthand.
- Observe the Scale: Take a moment to appreciate the massive scale of Mound No. 22 and the rarity of the square-shaped Mound No. 7.
- Explore the Landscape: Pay attention to how the placement of the mounds relates to the natural topography and the historical coastline.
