Ichisuka Kofun Cluster, Ancient burial mound complex in Osaka Prefecture, Japan.

The Ichisuka Kofun Cluster contains 262 circular burial mounds spread across the hills from Hamuro in Taishi to Ichisuka and Higashiyama in Kanan.

Constructed between the 6th and 7th centuries AD, these burial mounds reflect connections with migrations from Korean kingdoms during the formation of ancient Japan.

Archaeological excavations have revealed burial chambers containing wooden coffins, stone sarcophagi, miniature rice cookers, gold artifacts, bronze shoes, and Korean pottery fragments.

The site is accessible through Chikatsu Asuka Fudoki-No-Oka Historical Park, which features walking paths connecting 32 preserved tumuli and includes two observation platforms.

Each burial mound measures between 15 to 20 meters in diameter and incorporates horizontal stone chambers, preserving distinct construction methods of the Kofun period.
