和志山古墳, Ancient burial mound in Aichi Prefecture, Japan
Wajiyama Kofun is a burial mound in Aichi Prefecture shaped like a keyhole, created from carefully arranged stone structures. A system of protective moats surrounds the mound to define and protect the archaeological site.
The mound dates to the 5th century during the Kofun period when regional leaders built large tombs to display their power. It reflects how burial practices and social organization changed during this early Japanese era.
Excavations at Wajiyama Kofun revealed pottery and metal artifacts that demonstrate the advanced craftsmanship of ancient Japanese society.
The site is open for visitors during regular hours, with information available about the archaeology and local history. A nearby museum provides additional exhibits and context about artifacts discovered during excavations.
The tomb's construction required precise engineering methods to create perfect geometric proportions using only traditional measuring techniques.
Architectural style: keyhole-shaped kofun
