南大塚古墳群

The Minami-Otsuka Kofun consists of multiple burial mounds spread across the landscape, featuring different shapes and sizes from ancient Japanese periods.

Built between the 5th and 7th centuries, these burial mounds contain structural elements and artifacts that reveal information about social hierarchies in ancient Japan.

The excavated items from these burial mounds provide direct evidence of burial practices and religious ceremonies performed by early Japanese societies.

Visitors can explore the burial mounds through designated walking paths while informational panels explain the historical significance of each structure.

The site contains multiple types of tombs, including circular and keyhole-shaped mounds, with some featuring stone chambers and clay figurines called haniwa.
