Maruyama Kofun, Keyhole-shaped burial mound in Kaizuka, Japan

The Maruyama burial mound extends 73 meters in length with a circular portion measuring 43 meters in diameter and a rectangular section of 27 meters wide.

Construction of this burial site dates back to the latter half of the 4th century, during the Kofun period when large mounds were built for elite members.

The mound contained different types of haniwa decorations, including cylindrical, morning glory-shaped, figurative, and house-shaped pottery placed around its perimeter.

Visitors can reach the burial mound by taking a ten-minute walk from Izumi-Hashimoto Station on the JR West Hanwa Line in Osaka Prefecture.

In 1585, military leader Toyotomi Hideyoshi selected this burial mound as his temporary field headquarters during his campaign to invade Kii Province.
