Fujinoki Tumulus

Fujinoki Tumulus was built in the latter half of the 6th century about 400 meters west of Horyuji Temple. A house-shaped stone coffin and many gorgeous funerary goods were excavated such as gilt bronze saddle fittings, harnesses, crown, shoes and swords. The restoration was done in the Fujinoki Tumulus, the earth mound was planted, and commentary boards and benches were installed around the tumulus. No admittance to the stone chamber, but you can view the inside including the original stone coffin through the glass window at the entrance.
