Yanase Futagozuka Kofun, Kofun burial mound in Annaka, Japan.
The Yanase Futagozuka Kofun features a keyhole-shaped design with two tiers, measuring 80 meters in length and 50 meters in diameter at its circular section.
Archaeological excavations in 1879 revealed a stone-lined burial chamber containing 1240 artifacts, including iron weapons, armor, and decorative items from the 6th century.
The burial mound incorporates cylindrical haniwa clay figures, traditional decorative elements placed between tiers and atop the structure to mark social status.
Visitors can explore the historic park and learn about ancient Japanese burial practices at the Yanase Futagozuka Tomb Guidance Building.
The tomb features walls adorned with vermillion paint and a ceiling constructed from a single massive tuff megalith.
