真土大塚山古墳

The Mado Otsukayama Kofun extends 118 meters in length and features a circular rear section connected to a rectangular front portion.

Built during the 4th century, this tomb represents one of the earliest burial mounds in the Sagami region of ancient Japan.

The discovery of a triangular-rimmed mirror with beast designs indicates strong connections between local chiefs and the Yamato administration.

The original mound no longer exists, but visitors can explore a reconstructed version at Mado Otsukayama Park, established in 1996.

The burial contained bronze mirrors, weapons, jewelry, and pottery, with the main mirror bearing 24 characters of classical Chinese inscriptions.
