Otomezuka Kofun, Ancient burial mound in Miyakodori, Kobe, Japan.
The Otomezuka Kofun stretches 98 meters in length with two distinct rectangular sections, reaching a height of 9 meters above the surrounding landscape.
The burial mound, constructed during the Kofun period between the 3rd and 6th centuries, received National Historic Site designation in 2005.
Archaeological excavations revealed a stone chamber containing a bamboo-shaped coffin and eleven bronze mirrors, including seven triangular-rimmed divine beast mirrors.
The site, maintained as a public park, stands within a two-minute walking distance from Nishinada Station on the Hanshin Electric Railway Main Line.
The mound connects to the Unai-otomo Legend, a tragic love story documented in classical Japanese texts including the Man'yoshu and Yamato Monogatari.
