Very interesting. It's a bit hard to reach because it's a long walk from the parking lot. But there's an unofficial parking lot close by that the local farmer charges 100 yen for. The mural museum should not be missed.
It is a very famous tumulus that was built between the 7th and 8th centuries and appears in textbooks.
It appears to have been robbed during the Kamakura period, but the colorful murals of court ladies and other figures painted on the plaster on the walls of the stone chamber remain intact and are said to have caused a sensation.
The tumulus has been restored to its original appearance, and you can see replicas of artifacts and murals excavated from the Takamatsuzuka tumulus in the adjacent museum.
This is a tumulus that every Japanese person has heard of, and it even appears in textbooks, so it's a historical site that you definitely want to visit when you come to Nara.
