Flow of the course

About this spot

Tamaoka Historic Site Park (玉丘史跡公園) is a historic park in Tamaoka-cho, Kasai City, developed around burial mounds. The largest one in the park, Tamaoka Kofun, is a keyhole-shaped tomb that remains today as a large hill covered in grass. A walking path runs around it, and the appeal of this place is being able to feel its size with your own body as you walk the full circle. The experience of seeing an actual keyhole-shaped tomb, the kind you see in textbooks, right in front of you stays with children. Maruyama General Park (丸山総合公園) is about 10 minutes away by car, just the right distance for a stop before the afternoon water play.

Tips

Entry is free. There is little to block the sun, so always carry a hat and drinks as you walk. Follow the on-site information about how far you may climb on the mounds. Since this falls in the hottest part of the day, wrapping up in about 30 minutes without pushing it and heading for the water play is just the right balance.

Best time to visit

About 45 minutes. In summer it is best to keep it short and move on
