About Mausoleum of Emperor Nintoku:
The 4th-century mausoleum of Emperor Nintoku is in the city of Sakai, southeast of Osaka. The mausoleum was built on an even larger scale than that of the pyramids of Egypt—archaeologists calculate that the central mound of this site covers 1.3 million square feet. Construction took more than 20 years and required a total workforce of about 800,000 laborers. Surrounding the emperor’s burial place are three moats and pine, cedar, and cypress trees. You can walk around the outer moat to get an idea of the size of the mausoleum and the grounds. However, entry into the mausoleum is not allowed. From Tenno-ji Station, take the JR Hanwa Line to Mozu Station (a half-hour ride). From there the mausoleum is a five minute walk.
Emperor Nintoku (仁徳天皇,, Nintoku-tennō) was the 16th emperor of Japan, according to the traditional order of succession. No firm dates can be assigned to this emperor’s life or reign. Nintoku is considered to have ruled the country during the late-fourth century and early-fifth century, but there is a paucity of information about him. There is insufficient material available for further verification and study.
According to Nihon Shoki, he was the fourth son of Emperor Ōjin and the father of Emperors Richū, Hanzei, and Ingyō.
