Mikuriya Kofun Group, Ancient burial site in Iwata, Japan.
The Mikuriya Kofun Group contains five large burial mounds situated on the eastern bank of the Tenryu River in Shizuoka Prefecture.
The Shorinzan Kofun, excavated in 1931, revealed a stone burial chamber containing bronze mirrors, weapons, and agricultural tools from ancient Japan.
These burial mounds from the third to seventh century demonstrate the funeral practices and social hierarchy of early Japanese civilization.
Visitors can reach the archaeological site with a five-minute walk from the Shinmei-mae bus stop, connecting from Iwata Station.
The Takeneyama Kofun features a circular tumulus covered with fukiishi stones and decorated with cylindrical and pot-shaped haniwa artifacts.
