Ikeda Chausuyama Kofun

The Ikeda Chausuyama Kofun features a distinct geometric shape combining a square front section and a circular rear portion, spanning across the landscape.

The tomb dates back to the mid-Kofun period between the 4th and 6th centuries, when large burial mounds marked the territories of influential Japanese clans.

The structure reflects architectural techniques of ancient Japanese builders who created these massive tombs to honor deceased members of the elite class.

Visitors can access the site through guided tours that explain the construction methods and engineering principles used in creating these monumental structures.

The tomb contains specific burial chambers where archaeologists discovered artifacts including weapons, armor, and decorative items from the Kofun period.
