Akatsuchiyama Kofun, Ancient burial mound in Kansai, Japan
The Akatsuchiyama Kofun features a keyhole-shaped structure with surrounding moats that extends across a considerable portion of the landscape.
The construction of this burial site occurred during the 5th to 6th century, marking a period of substantial development in Japanese state formation.
