Nagae-Sakurayama Kofun Cluster

The Nagae-Sakurayama Kofun Cluster contains two large keyhole-shaped burial mounds situated between Zushi city and Hayama town in Kanagawa Prefecture.

These burial structures, constructed during the 4th century CE, represent significant archaeological evidence of early Japanese funeral practices and regional power structures.

Archaeological investigations revealed clay-covered wooden caskets and fragments of haniwa pottery, providing information about burial customs of ancient Japanese society.

The burial mounds can be reached within five minutes on foot from the Hasakura bus stop, making them accessible for visitors exploring Kanagawa Prefecture.

These tumuli are the only known keyhole-shaped burial mounds in the Miura Peninsula and stand as the largest examples in Kanagawa Prefecture.
