Shiratori Kofun, Keyhole-shaped burial mound in Matsuyama, Japan
The Shiratori Kofun features a distinct earthen structure with a rounded back section connected to a square front platform, surrounded by protective moats.
Built during the Kofun period between 300 and 538 AD, this burial mound represents the practices of Japan's early ruling class burial traditions.
The tomb contains burial chambers with stone arrangements and clay figures called haniwa, representing daily life objects and ceremonial items.
The burial mound measures several hundred meters in length and requires a complete circular walk to view its entire structure.
This monument belongs to a specific group of 5,000 keyhole-shaped tombs constructed exclusively in Japan during the formation of its imperial system.
