The designated tomb of Itsuse-no-Mikoto behind Kamayama Shrine in Wada, Wakayama. Its mythic and documentary tradition is separated here from its unresolved archaeology.
Finds & research
Burial facility and finds are unknown in the public record.
Two views on the occupant
Archaeological view
An IHA-designated tomb. Public evidence checked does not establish an archaeological mound form, size, date, or burial facility, so it is not classified here as a round mound of about 6m.
Imperial Household Agency view
Managed by the IHA as the Kamayama Tomb of Itsuse-no-Mikoto, elder brother of Emperor Jinmu. The chronicles relate that he died from a wound during the eastern expedition and was buried at Kamayama, but the designated tomb's archaeological form, size, and date are not established by the public evidence checked.
