古市古墳群

The Furuichi Kofun Group is a group of ancient burial mounds in Habikino City and Fujiidera City, Osaka. It is part of the UNESCO World Heritage site "Mozu-Furuichi Kofun Group: Mounded Tombs of Ancient Japan." More than 120 kofun were built here from the late 4th to the mid-6th century, and 45 remain today. Ojin-tenno-ryo Kofun, with a mound 425 meters long, is the second largest kofun in Japan. Walking around the kofun gives nice views in all four seasons.

Tips for Muslim visitors

Emperor Ojin's Tomb is seen by following the path around it. The tourism model course lists about 15 minutes on foot from Domyoji to the tomb, then about 20 minutes on to Konda Hachimangu Shrine.
The sites are spread out and linked by walks of 10–20 minutes each, so touring several tombs takes a few hours on foot.
Plan your visit around prayer times, and carry a travel prayer mat and a qibla app.
