Takarazuka Kofun Park
Located a 20-minute drive from the Matsusaka Interchange, this park is centered on the large ancient tombs that remain in Takarazuka. Tomb No. 1 is a keyhole shaped tomb that is square at the front and rounded in the rear, and tomb No. 2 is an early keyhole-shaped tomb mound that is scallop shaped, and they were both created more than 1,600 years ago. Tomb No. 1 is especially famous for the rare large clay boat haniwa (terracotta tomb figurine) that was unearthed there, and many of the excavated items have been designated nationally Important Cultural Properties. Inside the park, the shape of the tombs and their original state is maintained in an easy-to-understand way, and it is decorated with many restored haniwa. In addition, you can also enjoy the Matsusaka Castle ruins and large panorama nearby from tomb No. 1.
