We go and explore giant Japanese tombs. In Japan, what looks like a inconspicuous hill next to a road might actually be one of the more than 160,000 kofun graves that are spread throughout the country.
In this video, we do not only visit three of them, we also actually go inside and see what we find.

Love the new video, the japanese country side is so interesting, kinda majestic even. Also, second 🙂
Thank you for posting this video about a very interesting, but lesser known aspect of Japanese history. The views from the tops of the last two kofun tombs was beautiful. I can see why you love these places so much. The first tomb in blossom time must breathtakingly beautiful to see and visit. I'm quite envious!
Hey man I saw many video about Japan culture but from your video I got more clarify 😊 by the keep it up 👍👍
Toll gemachtes Video! Das mit den Schlüsselgräbern oder besser Kofun, is interessant. Die Aussicht is auch echt super von dort oben und das Essen 🤤 da bekomme ich Hunger 😁 Freue mich auf weitere tolle Videos!
I enjoyed this!
Johannes, I like the pacing of this video, the commentary and background information, and the wry bits of humor you toss in. Tschuss!
Really nicely done video!
5:30 – I expected a hill and we got a mountain, that is huge!
very good video ❤
I liked this video
I is nice to see you are up and around. I do hope you are doing better and feeling well. Enjoy your sukiyaki.
I liked this video, I've seen pictures of these tombs before without any kind of explanation. Thank you for this!
I found your video on reddit, I will definitely be watching more of your channel! Great job man!
Your editing 🔥🔥
This is fascinating! It amazes one to think of someone hauling rocks from that river on the train to build that/those things 'Kofun'. Who was helping you; the perspective of you speaking with the vista behind you and the camera apart is superb.
the bridge theory is really dumb when considering there's a keyhole shape on top of a mountain
Just imagine all the amazing artifacts that are buried under that huge mound!
very nice video
There exist many type of Kofun grave in Japan. The most famous Kofun is Daisen (Nintoku emperor) Kofun. The length is 580m. width is 307m. This Kofun exists in Osaka city.

I like being rich but I don't like hustling to become rich. Great video I just found out about these Japanese megalithic tombs.

1st Mother symbol Temples found everywhere on Eden/Earth. Erde, Erden, Eden German for dirt. The Key hole is the same as the (Lingam in India) the Top of the Lingam represents a (Woman's cervix)The V- shaped front of the Lingam represents a (Woman's uterus). All Terrans understand this and taught in school, yet everyone here on Eden/Earth are only beginning to understand the True Understanding by a True Taoist / A Terran. Taoism- Flow of the Universe. The planet Terran is opposite of Eden/Earth. Thank you for sharing your video. Very amazing!
