Jaketsuzan Kofun, Kofun burial mound in Sōja, Maebashi, Japan.
The Jaketsuzan Kofun features a square-shaped design with two tiers, measuring 39 meters in length and width, surrounded by a 12-meter wide double moat.
Built between the late 7th and early 8th centuries, this burial mound contains a stone-lined chamber with monolithic andesite boulders and sandstone block for sarcophagus placement.
The site belongs to the Soja Kofun Group, representing the final phase of ancient burial practices before the emergence of Buddhist funeral traditions in Japan.
Visitors can reach the archaeological site by taking a 20-minute walk from Sōja Station on the JR East Jōetsu Line in Gunma Prefecture.
The burial chamber entrance displays intricate stone carvings resembling gate pillars, while the interior walls retain traces of original plaster coating.
