Muraida Kofun, Ancient burial mound in Gifu Prefecture, Japan.
Muraida Kofun is a burial mound with a distinctive keyhole shape that rises from the Gifu landscape. The earthen structure follows the traditional design of these ancient tombs, with raised platforms and sloped sides that have been shaped by centuries of weathering.
This mound was built during the Kofun period between 250 and 538 AD as a burial site for regional leaders. Its construction reflects the social structure of ancient Japan, when such earthen monuments marked the status of the deceased.
The construction methods and architectural features of Muraida Kofun demonstrate the advanced engineering capabilities of ancient Japanese civilization.
The site is accessible from Gifu by local transport, and it is best visited during daylight hours to fully appreciate the mound's distinctive shape. Casual walking around the perimeter allows visitors to understand the structure, while nearby facilities provide basic amenities for planning a visit.
Archaeological surveys of Muraida Kofun revealed specific burial artifacts and construction techniques that differ from other tombs in the Gifu region.
