Miyajidake Kofun, Final stage burial mound in Fukutsu, Japan

The circular burial mound measures 30 meters in diameter and contains a stone chamber extending 23 meters in length and 5 meters in height.

The kofun dates from the late 6th to early 7th century and contains the remains of Munakata no Kimi Tokuzumi, father of Prince Takamichi.

Archaeologists discovered 300 burial items including horse equipment, swords, and glass beads, earning the site the nickname underground Shōsōin.

The burial mound stands near Miyajidake Shrine, which visitors can reach by taking buses from nearby train stations in Fukuoka Prefecture.

The stone chamber within this kofun ranks among the largest in Japan and maintains its original structural integrity from the ancient period.
