Kondayama Kofun (Tomb of Emperor Ojin) 誉田御廟山古墳（応神天皇陵古墳）

The giant of the Furuichi kofun cluster: a 425-metre keyhole-shaped mound of the early 5th century, second-largest in Japan by length and largest by volume, next to the ancient Konda Hachimangu shrine.

About

Kondayama Kofun in Habikino is attributed to Emperor Ojin, deified as Hachiman, and while slightly shorter than Daisen, its heaped earth is reckoned the largest in Japan by volume. It is part of the UNESCO Mozu-Furuichi Kofun Group and, like other imperial tombs, cannot be entered, but the moat-side path and the worship place show its scale. Right beside it, Konda Hachimangu, one of the oldest Hachiman shrines, holds an autumn festival in which a palanquin crosses into the tomb precinct over a bridge, one of the few times anyone enters. The quiet residential area around has many smaller kofun, easily linked on foot to Domyoji Temple and the Fujiidera temple.

Highlights

• Largest kofun in Japan by volume, about 425 m long
• UNESCO World Heritage (Mozu-Furuichi Kofun Group)
• Adjacent Konda Hachimangu shrine, linked to Emperor Ojin
• Quiet countryside-like walking between smaller kofun

Tips

• Start at Konda Hachimangu, then walk the west side of the moat to the worship area.
• Pick up a Furuichi kofun map at Furuichi or Domyoji station; the Habikino and Fujiidera tourist offices rent bicycles.
• Combine with Fujiidera temple (Kannon shown on the 18th) and Domyoji Tenmangu's plum garden.
