Chausuyama Kofun, Keyhole-shaped burial mound in Mibu, Japan
The Chausuyama Kofun features a distinct keyhole shape with one square end and one circular end, measuring 91 meters in length and 12 meters in height.
Built during the late 6th century AD, this burial mound received National Historic Site designation in 1958, marking its importance in Japanese archaeological studies.
Archaeological excavations revealed fragments of haniwa, including a substantial house model measuring 180 centimeters, along with Sue ware pottery atop the mound.
Visitors can reach the burial mound within 25 minutes by car from Mibu Station on the Tobu Railway Utsunomiya Line in Tochigi Prefecture.
The burial mound stands at 100 meters above sea level near the Kurokawa River, surrounded by multiple large tumuli from the same historical period.
