What do Japanese people think about Kofuns?

I recently learnt about Kofuns and the prehistory of Japan. I also came across a few websites where people have described their Kofun visits and shared photos and maps etc., especially for the lesser known Kofuns. I also came across quite a few Youtube videos where people are sharing their visits to Kofuns. These had only a few hundred views and most had less than ten comments but I am not very familiar with Japanese Youtube.

I cannot actually read Japanese so I use Google translate and I only have a bare minimum understanding of the spoken language. So longer videos in Japanese without subtitles are also difficult for me.

What I would like to know is how do people in Japan today feel about Kofuns?

I was told by someone – who is not Japanese but is aware of the culture – that since all that is remaining from the Kofun and Yayoi periods (and before) are a collection of archaeological remains, people tend to investigate their past by taking an interest in Kofuns / visiting such sites. I am not sure that this person has lived in Japan for a long time .

I am wondering if people who are Japanese or have lived for a long time in Japan and are aware of the history / culture surrounding Kofuns could share some insights.
