Hidden within a peaceful neighborhood in northern Tokyo, Shirahatazuka Shiseki Park safeguards the last surviving burial mound of the ancient Ikō kofun cluster. The sixth-century tumulus rises over a small pond, complemented by replicas of historic haniwa clay figurines and a mysterious engraved stone monument. Stroll past seasonal plantings featuring the classic Seven Flowers of Autumn while exploring a site where samurai warrior Minamoto no Yoriyoshi famously planted his victory banner in the 11th century.
