Furuichi Kofun Cluster, Ancient burial mounds in Osaka Prefecture, Japan
The Furuichi Kofun Cluster contains multiple burial mounds spread across 2.5 kilometers north to south and 4 kilometers east to west in Habikino and Fujiidera.
Built between the late 4th and mid-6th century AD, these tombs represent the formation of a centralized state system in ancient Japan through their size and design.
The burial mounds feature cylindrical clay figurines called haniwa, arranged on top to represent warriors, horses, and other symbols of power and status.
Visitors can reach the site via the Kintetsu Minami-Osaka Line, with Hajinosato and Furuichi stations providing direct access to the archaeological complex.
Twenty-seven of the largest tombs remain under Imperial Household Agency control, which prevents archaeological excavation due to their classification as imperial graves.
