Kannonzuka Kofun, Ancient burial mound in Takasaki, Japan.
The Hachiman Kannonzuka burial mound measures 100 meters in length and features a rectangular front section connected to a circular rear portion with surrounding moats.
During the construction of an air raid shelter in March 1945, workers discovered an untouched stone chamber containing approximately 300 burial artifacts from the 6th century.
The stone burial chamber, measuring 15.3 meters in length, ranks among the largest in Eastern Japan and contains bronze mirrors, weapons, and horse equipment.
Visitors can access the archaeological site by taking public transportation to Takasaki Station or Gunma Hachiman Station, followed by a short walk to the location.
The burial chamber earned the nickname 'Gunma's Ishibutai' due to its massive stone materials, comparable to the renowned Ishibutai Tumulus in Nara.
