Kanigaya Kofun Group, Ancient burial mound complex in Takatsu-ku, Japan

The Kanigaya Kofun Group contains multiple burial mounds with circular shapes and distinct architectural features spread across the hillsides of Kawasaki city.

Dating from 250 to 538 AD, these burial structures belonged to influential families during the Kofun period, marking a significant phase in Japanese funeral architecture.

Archaeological excavations at the site have uncovered earthenware, jewelry, and bronze artifacts that demonstrate the sophisticated craftsmanship of ancient Japanese societies.

The burial mounds remain accessible through marked pathways, with information panels explaining the historical significance of each structure in the complex.

This location features the sole front-and-back circular burial mound configuration found within the boundaries of present-day Kawasaki city.
