Minohara Kofun, Ancient circular burial mound in Ibaraki City, Japan.

Minohara Kofun stands as a circular earthen structure that served as a burial site for elite members of Japanese society during ancient times.

The construction of this burial mound occurred during the Kofun period between 250-538 AD, marking a time of social stratification in Japanese civilization.

Archaeological excavations at Minohara Kofun revealed various grave goods that demonstrate the burial customs and social hierarchy of early Japanese communities.

The burial mound sits at coordinates 34.841836° N latitude and 135.563736° E longitude, and visitors can access the site through designated pathways.

The circular design of Minohara Kofun differs from the more common keyhole-shaped tombs found throughout Japan during the same historical period.
