Shiroishi Inariyama Kofun, Ancient burial mound in Shiroishi, Japan.

The Shiroishi Inariyama Kofun features a traditional keyhole shape design measuring several meters in length with a raised earthen platform.

This burial structure, constructed between the 4th and 5th centuries, represents the transition period of Japanese society from clan-based to centralized governance.

The mound contains burial chambers where noble individuals were interred with bronze mirrors, weapons, and decorative items reflecting their social status.

Visitors can reach the archaeological site by following marked paths, and while no facilities exist on location, the grounds remain open for exploration.

Archaeological surveys have documented specific construction techniques used at this site, including layered earth compaction methods from the Kofun period.
