Tamaoka Kofun Cluster, Ancient burial mounds in Kaisai, Japan.

The Tamaoka Kofun Cluster comprises seven burial mounds situated on a terrace along the east bank of the Kakogawa River in Hyogo Prefecture.

The main keyhole-shaped tomb spans 109 meters in length and dates from the middle Kofun period, ranking as the fifth largest in Hyogo Prefecture.

Archaeological excavations revealed multiple cylindrical haniwa figures, fukiishi stones, and fragments of iron swords, armor, and agricultural tools within the tombs.

The archaeological park is accessible through a 20-minute walk from Hōjōmachi Station on the Hojo Railway Hōjō Line.

The Harima Kokudoki historical document contains a narrative about Nichijō-hime connected to the Tamaoka Kofun.
