Garandoya Kofun, Ancient burial mound in Kurume, Japan.
The Garandoya Kofun features an earthen burial structure with a distinguishable circular shape and stone burial chambers within its construction.
The burial mound dates from the Kofun period between the 3rd and 7th centuries CE, when influential figures were laid to rest in these ceremonial structures.
Archaeological excavations at Garandoya Kofun revealed terracotta clay figurines called haniwa, which provide information about social structures of ancient Japan.
