Ajiyoshi Futagoyama Kofun, Ancient burial mound in Kasugai, Japan
Ajiyoshi Futagoyama Kofun is a keyhole-shaped burial mound whose outline is distinct when viewed from above. A circular rear section connects to a rectangular front platform, surrounded by a protective moat.
This mound was built during the Kofun period between the 3rd and 7th centuries as a burial site for elite members of society. That era marked a time of strong social divisions in ancient Japan.
The mound reflects the craftsmanship of its builders, who shaped earth into complex forms to express power and status. Visitors can sense how the site's design mirrored the social order of that time.
Interior access is restricted as the site is protected, but visitors can walk around the mound to observe its outer structure and moat system. Walking the full perimeter gives the best sense of its overall shape.
This mound was positioned and dimensioned according to precise measurements linked to celestial observations. That mathematical precision shows ancient builders connected heaven and earth in their designs.
