狐塚古墳, Circular burial mound in Setagaya-ku, Japan.
The Kitsuzuka Kofun features a circular tomb with a diameter of 40 meters and stands 5.5 meters tall on the Musashino Plateau.
Archaeological excavations conducted from 1978 revealed fragments of Haniwa clay figures and Sueki pottery, dating the burial mound to the late 5th century.
The burial mound belongs to the Noge tomb group and represents the final resting place of a regional leader from the Kofun period.
The site has been transformed into a public park called Setagaya Ward Kitsuzuka Kofun Green Space, allowing visitors to explore the historical grounds.
Local folklore maintains that foxes inhabited this burial mound until 1929, leading to its name Kitsuzuka, which translates to Fox Mound.
