千足古墳

Senzoku Kofun features two stone chambers in its circular rear section and displays a scallop shell-shaped design with a shortened front section.

The tomb, constructed in the early 5th century, incorporates stones from Kumamoto and Kagawa prefectures, indicating extensive material transportation networks of that period.

The stone chamber contains carved chokkomon patterns, a specific decorative design combining straight lines and arcs, reflecting advanced craftsmanship of ancient Japan.

Visitors can access the site from JR Bitchu-Takahashi Station with a 35-minute walk, and parking facilities are available at the Tsukuriyama Kofun Visitor Center.

The burial mound contains two separate stone chambers, with wall materials sourced from different regions of Japan, suggesting the entombed person held substantial influence.
