Oda Chausuyama Kofun

The Oda Chausuyama Kofun extends 206 meters in length with a rectangular front section and circular rear portion, forming a distinct keyhole shape when viewed above.

Built during the latter half of the 5th century, this burial mound became a National Historic Site of Japan with expanded protection measures implemented between 1978 and 2006.

The dimensions and architectural features of this burial mound indicate connections to influential figures of the Yamato kingdom during the Kofun period.

This archaeological site remains largely unexplored, with no excavation of the central burial chamber conducted, preserving its contents for future research.

The burial mound incorporates multiple moat systems discovered during archaeological studies in the early 2000s, revealing advanced construction methods of ancient Japanese engineers.
