Mausoleum of Emperor Tenmu and Empress Jito
This is a joint tomb for Emperor Tenmu and his wife and successor to the throne Empress Jito. The tomb's burial mound is 50 meters in diameter and 6.36 meters high. The mound is said to be a round burial mound by some and octagonal by others; the stone burial chamber is eight sided and contained a gilt bronze funerary urn. Emperor Tenmu laid the foundations for Japan's ancient Ritsuryo codes of governance and Empress Jito continued to implement and refine them. Empress Jito was also the first emperor/empress of Japan to be cremated.
