Mori-Shōgunzuka Museum, Chikuma City

The Mori-Shōgunzuka Museum presents artifacts and research materials from excavations of ancient burial mounds located in Nagano Prefecture's Hanishina Kofun group.

The museum, which opened in 1997, houses collections from the fourth-century Mori-Shōgunzuka Kofun, the largest keyhole-shaped burial mound in Nagano Prefecture.

The exhibition halls display burial items, pottery fragments, and bronze mirrors that reveal the customs of local rulers during Japan's Kofun period.

Visitors can reach the museum through local transportation in Chikuma City and combine their visit with the adjacent Nagano Prefectural Museum of History.

The museum structure provides both above-ground and underground viewing perspectives of the burial vault's interior, enabling examination of ancient construction techniques.
