Muza-chan's Gate to Japan

Japanese Giant Tombs

Fri, January 8, 2010, by Muza-chan

From time to time, searching for travel destinations, I stumble across interesting things in Google Maps, like the huge drawing with Earth-kun.
This time, browsing the Google Earth near Osaka, my attention was suddenly drawn to some... keyholes, visible in the Sakai City.

However, few people know the fact that regarding the length, the Daisen Kofun, the Emperor's Nintoku tomb is the biggest tomb in the world.

Din când în când, căutând destinaţii de călătorie în Google Maps, descopăr lucruri interesante (cum a fost cu Earth-kun).
De data aceasta, studiind Osaka în Google Earth, atenţia mi-a fost atrasă de câteva... găuri de cheie, vizibile în oraşul Sakai.

Însă puţini cunosc faptul că, în privinţa lungimii, mormântul împăratului Nintoku este cel mai mare din lume.
