Raijinyama Kofun (Burial Mound)

An ancient burial mound built on the eastern tip of the Medashima Hill spreading over central Natori City. The keyhole shaped tomb is the largest in the Tohoku region and is a three-level design with a 168-meter-long axis, a 96-meter-long rear circular section, and a height of 12 meters. It's assumed to have been built in the late 4th century/early 5th century and based on size and excavated articles is thought to have been the tomb of the head of a powerful clan who ruled over a wide area. It is now kept as a historical park and a large number of cherry trees are planted over the area making this a well-known spot for cherry-blossom viewing.
