Ebisuyama Kofun, Keyhole-shaped burial mound in Yosano, Japan
The Ebisuyama Kofun measures 170 meters in length and features a square front section connected to a circular rear portion, arranged in three distinct tiers.
Built during the early 4th century, this ancient tomb received National Historic Site status in 1930 and sustained damage during the North Tango earthquake of 1927.
Archaeologists discovered bronze mirrors, iron swords, and a carved boat-shaped sarcophagus within the burial chambers, indicating advanced craftsmanship of the period.
Visitors can reach the site by taking a 15-minute car ride from Nodagawa Station on the Kyoto Tango Railway to the Yosano Municipal Kofun Park.
The mound contains three separate burial facilities in its circular section and incorporates both fukiishi stone coverings and cylindrical haniwa clay figures.
