Hōōzan Cave Tombs, Ancient burial complex in Kaga, Japan.
The Hōōzan Cave Tombs contain 77 confirmed burial chambers carved into a tuff hill, extending up to nine meters into the hillside.
Archaeological excavations conducted between 1921 and 1922 revealed 26 tombs, with subsequent investigations from 1964 to 1968 uncovering additional burial sites.
The burial chambers contain Sue ware, Haji pottery, iron swords, and jewelry, reflecting the funerary practices of late 6th to 7th century Japan.
The archaeological site includes an exhibition hall displaying discovered artifacts and stands 40 meters above the Iburihashi River, accessible by car from Kagaonsen Station.
Estimates suggest the presence of 150 to 200 total tombs within this concentrated area, making it the largest cave tomb group in the Hokuriku region.
