Daisenryō Kofun

Daisenryō Kofun (大仙陵古墳) is a large Kofun in Japan. It is a Zenpō-kōen-fun.[1] People think it Emperor Nintoku was buried in it.[2]

It is part of the Mozu Tombs[3][4]


The Daisen Kofun mound is approximately 500 metres (1,600 ft) long and 300 metres (980 ft) across at its widest point, while the entire tomb area is 840 metres (2,760 ft) long.[5] It is enclosed by three moats. The mound is about 35m above the surrounding terrain. The highest point is 47 metres (154 ft), so it is visible to sailors on Osaka Bay.[6] The inner moat is the widest of the moats at approximately 60 metres (200 ft). The mound is approximately 100,000 square metres (1,100,000 sq ft) in area, and the entire tomb is 460,000 square metres (5,000,000 sq ft).
