Gogazuka Kofun, Ancient burial mound in Itami, Japan.
Gogazuka Kofun is an ancient burial mound in Itami with a distinctive keyhole shape and raised earthen walls. Underground burial chambers lie beneath the carefully constructed mound, which archaeologists have examined over time.
This burial site was built in the 3rd century and demonstrates the construction methods of that era. It provides insight into the social structure and power distribution of ancient Japan.
The mound reflects how ancient Japanese people honored their deceased through carefully planned burial practices. The shape and orientation reveal much about what mattered to society in those days.
The mound is located south of Hankyu Itami Station and can be reached easily using public transportation. Visitors should take time to walk around the site and observe the details of its structure from different angles.
Excavations revealed burial artifacts suggesting an important person from ancient society was interred here. These findings help archaeologists learn more about who held power during that period.
