Ebetsu Kofun Cluster, Ancient burial mound cluster in Ebetsu, Japan
The Ebetsu Kofun Cluster contains eighteen burial mounds positioned at the northwest edge of the Nopporo Hills, 18 meters above sea level.
Archaeological excavations in 1931 revealed sixteen burials containing grave goods such as blades, magatama, earrings, and earthenware spindle whorls from ancient periods.
The burial mounds feature circular, oval, and horseshoe-shaped ditches, reflecting the burial practices of the Satsumon culture during the eighth century.
Visitors can observe the burial mounds with diameters ranging from 3 to 10 meters and heights between 0.3 to 1 meter throughout the site.
The Ebetsu Kofun Cluster represents the northernmost discovered kofun site in Japan, marking a significant point in ancient Japanese burial practices.
