Yamada Takatsuka Kofun

The Yamada Takatsuka Kofun stands as a notable square-shaped burial mound within the Shinagadani Kofun Cluster of Osaka Prefecture, measuring several meters in height.

Dating from the Kofun period between the 3rd and 7th centuries, this burial site represents the transition from tribal communities to centralized governance in ancient Japan.

The construction methods and architectural features of Yamada Takatsuka Kofun demonstrate the sophisticated burial practices of Japan's early imperial period.
