鳥居原狐塚古墳, Ancient circular tomb in Ichikawamisato, Japan.

The Toriiharakitsuka Kofun spans 18 meters by 13 meters with a height of 1 meter, located among agricultural fields in Yamanashi Prefecture.

The burial mound, discovered during land development in 1893, contained a Chinese bronze mirror dated 238 CE and numerous artifacts from the Kofun period.

The excavated bronze mirror features inscriptions and decorative patterns of four sacred beasts, representing cultural connections between Japan and China.

The site requires careful navigation through agricultural land, with no designated parking areas and minimal remaining visible structures.

The National Important Cultural Property status bronze mirror found at this site bears specific manufacturing date inscriptions from China's Wu Kingdom.

Architectural style: circular kofun
