Yokose Kofun, Ancient burial mound in Osaki, Japan
The Yokose Kofun contains a central burial chamber within its earthen mound structure, following traditional keyhole-shaped architectural patterns of Japanese tombs.
Built during Japan's Kofun period between the 3rd and 7th centuries, this tomb received official recognition as a Historic Site of Japan in 1943.
The burial mound features multiple haniwa clay figures, which were placed around the tomb according to ancient Japanese funerary customs.
Located at coordinates 31° 24′ 48.1″ N and 131° 00′ 53.4″ E, the site maintains preserved structural elements for archaeological research.
Archaeological excavations at Yokose Kofun revealed artifacts that connect the site to both the Jomon and Yayoi cultural periods of Japan.
