Overview
At Tomita, Gose, this designated mausoleum rests on the chronicle legend that Yamato Takeru alighted here as a white bird. The tradition must be separated from archaeological fact; the mound's date and scale are unconfirmed.
Finds & research
Burial facility and finds are unknown in the public sources checked.
Two views on the occupant
Archaeological view
The IHA designates this as one of the three Swan Mausolea of Yamato Takeru. Gose City's education-based account itself describes the basis as weak; the site's archaeological nature, date, burial facility, and finds are unknown.
Imperial Household Agency view
Managed by the IHA as one of the three Swan Mausolea of Yamato Takeru (Gose City) — where the hero, transformed into a white bird, alighted between Nobono (id:337) and Kawachi (id:30). Its archaeological substance is unknown and may be a natural rise.
Field notes
Worship from the IHA oratory. Gose City lists no parking or toilet.
