    Shimane Matsue-shi Yamashirocho 470-1
    "Measuring 94 meters long, it is the largest rectangular-shaped kofun ancient tomb in the prefecture. Part of it was removed when a former Army infantry was set up, but it is now been restored. It is famous for being the first tomb to be called a ""rectangular-shaped kofun"" in Japan in 1925. The two-level tomb is surrounded by a moat and dike. There is an observation room in the rear where you can see the real embankment, and you can see that a high level of skill was used to make the tomb. It is thought that the burial chief of the eastern part of Izumo is buried in the tomb because cylindrical haniwa clay images and Sue pottery were excavated from the foot of the mound and the surrounding moat."

    山代二子塚古墳のガイダンス施設ですので、見学をする観光地としても人気があります。石室の実物大模型があったり、古墳に関する解説パネルが設置されてますので、学校などの子供の教育の観光地としても有名です。入場料が無料となってますし、大型のバスが止められる駐車場もあります。古代の見物を実際に見ることが出来るので、とても勉強になります。

    The area around Arashima Station overlooking Lake Nakaumi has a concentration of tombs built between the Yayoi and Kofun periods. Ancient Izumo King Tombs Hill consists of four parks, including the burial mounds at Chusenji, Miyayama, and Shiotsuyama, as well as the main Tsukuriyama Burial Mound group, one of the largest in the nation. Tombs in the park are all open to public viewing. There are royal tombs from the Yayoi period at Chusenji Park and Miyayama Park and four mounds like a flat-topped burial mound and conjoined rectangular mounds at Tsukuriyama Park. Excavations here showed the tombs in eastern Izumo were four-cornered. Today the site is known as a local recreation spot.

Shimane Areas

around-area-map

What Shimane prefecture lacks in size and population, it makes up for in scenery and ancient mythology. Izumo-taisha, in the middle of the prefecture, is said to be Japan’s oldest Shinto shrine, where stories that delve into the creation of the Japanese race have been passed down over centuries. The 180 Oki Islands, a 40-minute ferry ride north of Sakaiminato, offer an undiscovered paradise well off the beaten track.
