Komae Kofun Cluster, Ancient burial mounds in Komae, Japan.
The burial site contains 13 preserved tombs, including 12 circular mounds and one scallop-shell-shaped tomb spread across the urban landscape of Komae.
Archaeological excavations since 1951 revealed that these burial mounds were constructed during the 5th and 6th centuries for regional leaders and influential families.
The Kamezuka Kofun, measuring 42 meters in length, yielded artifacts such as Sue pottery, bronze mirrors, and decorative metalwork indicating connections with mainland Asian cultures.
Several mounds remain accessible for research purposes, with the Kabuto-zuka circular mound designated as a Tokyo Metropolitan Historical Site under preservation measures.
The cluster originally comprised approximately 70 burial mounds, earning the local name 'Komae Hyakutsuka' meaning 'hundred mounds of Komae'.
