Funazuka-kofun, Ancient burial mound in Saga, Japan.

The Funazuka-kofun features a rectangular front section connected to a circular rear portion, following traditional keyhole-shaped tomb architecture of ancient Japan.

Built during the Kofun period between the 3rd and 7th centuries, this burial mound represents the final resting place of regional elite members.

The tomb structure provides evidence of complex burial practices and social hierarchies that existed in ancient Japanese society.

Located at coordinates 33°18'48.510"N and 130°14'28.979"E, the site is accessible near Tamari Junior High School in Saga Prefecture.

Archaeological investigations revealed a dual compartment stone coffin within the mound, which extends over 80 meters in length.
