Rōji Kofun, Ancient burial mound in Fukuoka, Japan

The Laoshi Kofun extends over 80 meters in length and maintains its original keyhole-shaped structure with a rounded back and rectangular front section.

Built between the 5th and 6th centuries, this burial mound belonged to a local ruler or noble person during the Kofun period of Japanese history.

Archaeological excavations revealed bronze artifacts, pottery, and various burial goods that indicate the funeral practices and social structure of ancient Japan.

The site features designated parking areas and walking paths, with access available through the Fukuoka subway system to the nearby station.

The burial mound remains unlooted, preserving its original structure and contents, making it a valuable resource for understanding ancient Japanese society.
