Shidami Otsuka Kofun, Burial mound in Moriyama-ku, Nagoya, Japan.

The Shidami Otsuka Kofun measures 55 meters in length and features a scallop-shaped design with surrounding moats and earthwork structures.

Archaeological excavations in 1923 revealed bronze mirrors, iron weapons, and other artifacts from the late 5th to early 6th centuries.

The burial mound contains chambers and artifacts that demonstrate the sophisticated funeral practices of Japanese aristocrats during the Kofun period.

The site belongs to a group of seven preserved burial mounds that visitors can explore through the Experience Shidami Kofun Group Museum.

The mound's excavation uncovered specific burial goods that indicate strong connections between the regional elite and the central Japanese authorities.
