Nonaka Kofun, Ancient burial mound in Fujiidera, Japan
The square-shaped tomb measures 37 meters on each side and contains a burial chamber surrounded by protective moats in the Osaka region.
Built during the 5th century, Nonaka Kofun belongs to the Furuichi Tomb Cluster, representing the emergence of a governing state in Japan.
Excavations in 1964 revealed armor, iron implements, and pottery that demonstrate the connections between Japan, China, and Korea during this period.
The site offers guided tours where visitors can learn about ancient burial practices and view photographs of discovered artifacts from archaeological studies.
Local residents called this location 'urayabu' meaning backyard grove before archaeological investigations identified it as a significant burial mound.
