Gokasho Futagozuka Kofun, Ancient burial mound in Kansai region, Japan.
The Gokasho Futagozuka Kofun features a distinct keyhole shape when viewed from above, with a rectangular front section connecting to a circular rear portion.
The burial mound dates from the 3rd to 7th century CE, during Japan's Kofun period when these large earthen structures marked the graves of elite members.
The construction of this kofun required thousands of workers and substantial resources, indicating the advanced social organization of ancient Japanese society.
Visitors can explore the surrounding area through designated walking paths, while the actual burial mound remains restricted to preserve its archaeological integrity.
Archaeological excavations at the site revealed numerous terracotta figures called haniwa, which were placed around the mound to protect the deceased.
