Omishinkanji Kofun, Ancient burial mound in Gyoda, Japan
The Omishinkanji Kofun stands 102 meters long with two tunnel stone chambers containing funeral artifacts from the late 6th century.
The burial site, constructed between 500 and 600 CE, represents the final keyhole-shaped tomb built within the Gyoda region of Japan.
Excavations revealed gold rings, decorated swords, and copper bowls, indicating the high status of individuals buried in this ancient tomb.

This keyhole-shaped burial mound contains gold-plated ornaments that demonstrate the transition of gold usage from elite burials to religious contexts.
