Description
This giant keyhole-shaped mound is along with the Pyramids (Giza, Egypt) and the Qin Tomb (Xian, China) one of the largest tombs ever built. Three moats ring it.

Buried inside is Emperor Nintoku, well known for bringing prosperity to Osaka with a 100% tax cut for many years, which led to a huge rise in trade and growth of the city and empire.
