Hello, the Jisan-dong Tomb Group, which stands in a row on the southern ridge of Jusan Mountain, 5 meters above sea level, behind Daegaya Museum, about 310 minutes by regular taxi from Goryeong Intercity Bus Terminal, is the largest ancient tomb in Gaya, with over 200 tombs of various sizes built during the Daegaya period. At the top of Jusan Mountain is Jusanseong Fortress, a stone fortress that is Historic Site No. 61 from the Daegaya period, and the remains of a Daegaya palace have been excavated at the foot of the mountain to the east, so it is believed that this group of tombs is the tomb of Daegaya kings, royal family, and aristocrats.

At the beginning of the walking trail to Jisan-dong Tomb Group, there is the Daegaya Royal Tombs Exhibition Hall, which reproduces the size of Tomb No. 32, which was excavated and confirmed to be the largest tomb in Korea, where a 44nd period burial site was excavated. After visiting the exhibition hall, you can take your time to explore the tombs on the mountain.
