Ueyama Kofun, Final stage kofun in Kashihara, Japan
The Ueyama Kofun features two horizontal stone chambers positioned side by side within a rectangular burial mound structure in Kashihara.
Empress Suiko and her son Prince Takeda were initially interred at Ueyama Kofun before their remains were moved to Shinagano Yamadano-misazaki tumulus in Osaka Prefecture.
The rectangular design of Ueyama Kofun represents burial practices from the late Kofun period, demonstrating the architectural methods used for royal entombments.
While the interior remains closed, visitors can reach the Ueyama Kofun through a walking path from the Kintetsu Okadera Station in Kashihara.
The dual chamber configuration of Ueyama Kofun indicates its purpose as a shared burial space, reflecting the familial connections in Japanese royal succession.
