Shikinzan Kofun, Ancient burial mound in Ibaraki City, Japan.
The earthen burial structure stands prominently on elevated ground, measuring several hundred meters in length with distinct geometric formations and surrounding moats.
Constructed during the 4th century CE, this burial monument represents the emergence of the Kofun period when the Yamato clan established political control in Japan.
The mound contains numerous clay sculptures called haniwa, depicting warriors, animals, and daily objects that reflect ancient Japanese funeral ceremonies.
Visitors can access the archaeological site by taking the local train to Ibaraki Station and following the marked walking path to the monument.
