Nishimotomezuka Kofun, Ancient burial mound in Nada Ward, Japan
The burial structure consists of two conjoined rectangular sections measuring 98 meters in length and rising 9 meters above ground level.
Archaeological excavations in 1985 revealed that this tomb predates 250 CE and contains 11 bronze mirrors mentioned in Chinese chronicles.
The burial chamber features a split bamboo-shaped coffin and stone materials transported from different Japanese provinces, reflecting ancient construction methods.
The archaeological site functions as a public park and visitors can reach it within two minutes on foot from Nishinada Station.
Excavators discovered seven triangular-rimmed divine beast mirrors that Emperor Cao Rui sent to Queen Himiko of Wa in 239 CE.
