The Kannozuka Kofun is a circular Korean Peninsula, or possibly by immigrants from Goguryeo. The burial facility has been open since before the Meiji era, and it if unknown is any grave goods have ever been recovered.[2]
From the style of construction, it is thought that the tumulus was built in the latter half of the 7th century, or into the Asuka period. [2]
The tumulus is about a 15-minute walk from
Kintetsu Minami-Osaka Line.[2]
