Matsuoka Kofun Cluster, Ancient tomb cluster in Eiheiji Town, Japan.
The Matsuoka Kofun Cluster stands on a ridge at the eastern edge of the Fukui Plain, containing four keyhole-shaped burial mounds and three additional structures.
These burial mounds, constructed during the mid-4th to late 5th centuries, belonged to local leaders who controlled water rights from the Kuzuryu River.
The Taguriyama Kofun features cylindrical and asymmetrical haniwa arrangements along its apex and middle sections, representing burial practices of ancient Japan.
The cluster received national historic site designation in multiple phases, with Taguriyama Kofun recognized in 1977 and three additional mounds in 2005.
The largest mound, Taguriyama Kofun, measures 129 meters in length and incorporates river stones in its two-layered roof construction.
