Ginowan Udun tomb, Royal tomb in Sueyoshi Park, Japan.
The Ginowan Udun tomb features a turtle-back design with curved eyebrow elements and stone walls built using advanced masonry techniques from the period.
Constructed in 1738, this tomb served as the burial site for Prince Motobu Chohei, the sixth son of King Sho Shitsu from the Second Royal Sho Dynasty.
The tomb incorporates a Hinpun wall with a narrow entrance, requiring coffins to be lifted above, symbolizing the challenging passage to the afterlife.
Visitors can access the tomb through marked paths from Shiinomi Nursery School, with informational signs in English providing guidance throughout the site.
Ten carved pottery burial urns were discovered within the chamber, containing the remains of Prince Motobu Chohei and his family members.
