I review contents in this website within the next guideline.

Specialization in local information concerning Iwase-senzuka Kofun Cluster and Kii-fudoki-no-oka Museum.
- The main purpose of his website is to introduce Iwase-senzuka Kofun Cluster and Kii-fudoki-no-oka Museum.
- It is possible to gain knowledge of Japanese history including the Kofun Period by reading books and visiting other websites.
- The first thing I should try to do here is to make readers interested in Iwase-senzuka and Kii-fudoki-no-oka Museum by telling them various stories about the place which are found only at this website.

Clear statement on sources.
- I would like to enhance reliability of the contents in this website by naming their sources when necessary.
- I think it is valuable for myself check what books or papers I referred to when I wrote each article, for even accepted theories which seemed to have been unchangeable sometimes altered (e.g. the time when the Yayoi Period began).

Articles which are always available.
- I will keep my website open while it is undergoing constant updating.
- On the one hand, it seems to take a long time to complete the updating 2025, but on the other hand, I would like to carry out the alteration carefully. So, I have decided to undertake the task without haste while keeping this website not closed.
