Tsukaana Kofun, Square burial mound in Habikino, Japan.

Tsukaana Kofun is a burial mound with a square base and sloped earthen walls rising from each side to create a distinct geometric form. The structure displays the characteristic construction style of these archaeological sites from the Kofun period.

The mound was built during the Kofun period between 250 and 538 AD and ranks among the significant burial sites of early Japanese elite. It represents the burial traditions and social structures of that era.

The mound is part of the Furuichi Kofun Group, recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. It demonstrates how important members of early Japanese society were honored and remembered.

The site is accessible by local transportation in Habikino, with information panels providing archaeological details on location. Visitors should wear appropriate footwear since access to the mound itself may vary depending on weather conditions and restrictions.

Archaeological research suggests this mound may have been connected to Prince Kume, a figure in the early imperial family. This link sheds light on succession practices and political power distribution during that period.
