Fune Kofun

The square-shaped burial mound stands as an archaeological structure on Mount Moriya, representing traditional construction methods from ancient Japanese history.

Dating back to the 5th century, the Fune Kofun was constructed during a period when burial mounds marked the final resting places of society's elite members.

The square design of Fune Kofun differs from typical circular and keyhole-shaped burial mounds, indicating specific cultural practices in the Suwa region.

Located at coordinates 35.999°N and 138.116056°E, the burial mound remains open for archaeological research and educational visits throughout the year.

Multiple excavations at Fune Kofun have revealed artifacts that document the burial customs and social structures of 5th-century Japanese civilization.
