石塚山古墳

The Ishizukayama Kofun features a distinctive pyramid shape with a diameter of 50 meters and a height of 10 meters in the landscape.

Construction of this burial mound dates back approximately 1,600 years, during a period when similar structures appeared across the Japanese archipelago.

The tomb contains numerous artifacts and burial items that provide information about social hierarchies and funeral practices in ancient Japan.

Regular archaeological excavations at the site allow students and local volunteers to participate in research activities throughout the year.

The structure differs from typical keyhole-shaped kofun by incorporating an unusual pyramidal design that stands out among Japanese burial mounds.
