Raijinyama Kofun, Ancient burial mound in Natori, Japan
The Raijinyama Kofun features a keyhole-shaped design stretching 168 meters in length with an adjacent circular mound measuring 54 meters in diameter.
Archaeological evidence, including pottery fragments and haniwa terracotta figures, dates the construction of this burial complex to the late 4th or early 5th century.
The burial structure represents the social hierarchy of ancient Japanese society, with its keyhole shape indicating the high status of the person interred within.
Visitors can reach the archaeological site by taking a 30-minute walk from Tatekoshi Station on the JR East Tohoku Main Line.
The 2011 Tohoku earthquake caused a partial collapse of the posterior tumulus, revealing evidence of a clay or wooden coffin in the burial chamber.
