Osaka Prefectural Chikatsu Asuka Fudoki Hill
This historic park maintains and preserves the Ichisuka Burial Mounds, a group of 102 circular tombs from the late 6th century, 40 of which can be visited inside their stone chambers.
Asuka in Nara is called "Totsu Asuka," while the area around the western foot of Mount Nijo in Habikino City and Taishi Town in Osaka is called "Chikatsu Asuka." The ancient Chikatsu Asuka region flourished as a region of sophisticated culture brought by immigrants, and the surrounding area is home to a cluster of tombs dating back to the 6th century. One of these, the Ichisuka Kofun Group, is preserved and maintained as a historic park at the Osaka Prefectural Chikatsu Asuka Fudoki-no-Oka. Within the approximately 29-hectare park are 102 circular tombs (some square), each around 15 meters in diameter, 40 of which have horizontal stone chambers, and visitors can enter and view the interiors of these chambers. The numerous artifacts excavated from these tombs are exhibited and introduced at the nearby Chikatsu Asuka Museum. The museum offers a panoramic view of the entire Chikatsu Asuka Fudoki-no-Oka.
