Ippommatsu Kofun, Ancient burial mound at Nagoya Institute of Technology, Japan.

The Ippommatsu Kofun measures 36 meters in diameter and stands 8 meters tall, featuring a circular shape with remnants of its original keyhole structure.

Archaeological evidence, including clay figurines discovered at the site, indicates the construction of this burial mound occurred during the late 5th century.

The burial mound represents the practices of ancient Japanese elite, who built these elevated structures to house the deceased with their ceremonial objects.

Visitors can access the kofun within the Gokiso campus grounds, with informative panels explaining its features near the university library entrance.

Students share a traditional belief that climbing the ancient mound might result in academic setbacks, adding an element of campus folklore.
