Kamiishizu Misanzai Kofun, Imperial burial mound in Nishi-ku, Japan.
Kamiishizu Misanzai Kofun stands as a keyhole-shaped burial structure measuring 365 meters in length, making it the third largest tomb in Japan.
The burial mound, constructed during the 5th century, marks the final resting place of Emperor Richuu, the 17th emperor of Japan and first son of Emperor Nintoku.
The tomb forms part of the Mozu-Furuichi Kofungun, a collection of ancient burial mounds that reflect the funeral practices of Japanese ruling elites between the 5th and 6th centuries.
Visitors can reach the historical site by taking the JR Hanwa Line to Uenoshiba Station and walking to the location south of Daisen Koen park.
The structure features a single moat surrounding the massive keyhole-shaped mound, representing the architectural sophistication of ancient Japanese burial engineering.
