Imashirozuka Kofun, Keyhole-shaped burial mound in Takatsuki, Japan
The Imashirozuka Kofun extends 190 meters in length, making it the largest tomb in the Yodo River basin with double moats spanning 350 meters.
Built in the sixth century, this burial mound contains archaeological evidence suggesting it served as the final resting place of Emperor Keitai, Japan's 26th emperor.
The burial mound features a ceremonial area with 190 clay figurines depicting houses, people, and animals, offering insights into ancient Japanese funeral practices.
The site, accessible from JR Settsu-Tonda or Hankyu Tonda stations, includes a history museum displaying excavated artifacts and offering hands-on workshops throughout the year.
Unlike other imperial tombs in Japan, visitors can freely walk around the mound's grounds, which span an area equivalent to two Koshien baseball stadiums.
