Miyazuka Kofun, Round-topped burial mound in Hirose, Kumagaya, Japan
The Miyazuka Kofun features a square base with a domed structure on top, measuring 10 meters in diameter and reaching a height of 2.5 meters.
The burial mound dates from the latter half of the 7th century and belongs to the Hirose tumulus cluster, containing numerous small-scale tombs along the Arakawa River.
The mound originally displayed fukiishi decorative stones, reflecting burial practices of elite individuals during the final phase of the Kofun period in Japan.
Visitors can access the burial mound by taking a 15-minute walk from Hirose-Yacho-no-Mori Station on the Chichibu Railway Chichibu Main Line.
The structure remains unexplored by archaeologists, maintaining the mystery of its burial chamber contents and internal configuration since its construction.
