Chasuriyama Kofun, Archaeological burial mound in Asago, Japan
The Chasuriyama Kofun spans 90 meters in diameter and rises 18 meters high, featuring two distinct burial chambers at different elevations within the structure.
During excavations in 2001, researchers discovered 1,750 artifacts including bronze mirrors, iron weapons, and agricultural tools dating from the 5th century.
The presence of ceremonial objects and weapons within the chambers indicates the burial of high-ranking individuals in ancient Japanese society.
Visitors can reach the Chasuriyama Kofun by taking an 18-minute car ride from Yanase Station on the JR West San'in Main Line.
The site underwent transformation in the 16th century when builders constructed military fortifications directly on top of the ancient burial mound.
