Susoezoana Kofun

The Susoezoana Kofun features a distinctive square shape constructed from earthen materials, following traditional architectural patterns of Japanese burial mounds.

Built between the 3rd and 7th centuries during the Kofun period, this structure stands as evidence of the evolving mortuary practices in ancient Japan.

The burial mound contains artifacts and grave goods that demonstrate the social hierarchy and religious beliefs of early Japanese civilization.

Visitors can reach the archaeological site through local transportation services from Ishikawa Prefecture, with guided tours available upon prior arrangement.

The square design of Susoezoana Kofun differs from the more common keyhole-shaped burial mounds found throughout the Japanese archipelago.
