Hisagozuka Kofun, Keyhole-shaped burial mound in Himeji, Japan.
The Hisagozuka Kofun extends 100 meters in length with a square end and circular end, rising in three distinct tiers at the posterior circular portion.
Built during the early Kofun period, this burial mound stands twice the size of other contemporary tombs in the Nishi-Harima region of Japan.
The construction methods and size of this burial mound indicate the presence of advanced engineering skills and social hierarchies in ancient Japanese society.
Visitors can reach the archaeological site by taking a 20-minute walk from Aboshi Station on the JR West Sanyo Main Line.
Archaeological excavations revealed a pit-type stone burial chamber at the southern edge of the rear circle, suggesting a main chamber in the central section.
