Its diameter is 105m and its height is about 19m. It is also known as the site of the siege of Oshi Castle, and part of the road to the tumulus is the remains of a levee called "Ishida Tsutsumi", where Mitsunari Ishida attacked Oshi Castle with water. The most beautiful time to visit this tumulus is when the cherry blossoms bloom. There are cherry trees around the tumulus and on top of it, so you can see a truly beautiful view from below and from above. Not only cherry blossoms, but also rape blossoms are in bloom, so the collaboration of pink and yellow is amazing! This area is also aiming to be registered as a World Heritage Site, and is likely to attract even more attention in the future. ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ꕥLocation: Maruzukayama Kofun ꕥAddress: 4834 Saitama, Gyoda City, Saitama Prefecture ꕥAccess 🚌🚏Fukiage Station → 🚏Industrial Road → Approximately 31 minutes on foot ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #Sakura2024 #Cherry Blossoms #Great Views of Cherry Blossoms #Cherry Blossom Spots #Cherry Blossom Season
