Hachimanyama Kofun, Circular burial mound in Shōwa Ward, Nagoya, Japan
The circular Hachimanyama Kofun measures 82 meters in diameter and rises 10 meters high, with evidence of a former 10-meter-wide surrounding moat.
Built in the mid-fifth century, this burial mound received designation as a National Historic Site of Japan in 1931, marking its archaeological importance.
The discovery of haniwa terracotta figures at the site before World War II provided insights into ancient Japanese burial practices and artistic traditions.
The archaeological site sits within Tsuruma Park, accessible through an 8-minute walk from JR Central Chūō Main Line Tsurumai Station.
During World War II, the Imperial Japanese Army modified the mound's summit to install an anti-aircraft battery, altering its original archaeological structure.
