Futago Kofun

Futago Kofun features two connected rectangular sections stretching 81 meters, with the posterior portion reaching 10 meters in height and 45 meters in width.

The burial mound dates back to the late 3rd century or early 4th century, evidenced by construction techniques and the absence of decorative elements.

The flat summit contains a square protrusion on the east side that functioned as a ceremonial space for burial rituals during the Kofun period.

The archaeological site stands a 10-minute walk from Horiuchikoen Station on the Meitetsu Nishio Line, offering public access throughout the year.

Archaeological surveys in 2003 revealed a complete moat system surrounding the tumulus, adding to the understanding of ancient Japanese burial architecture.
