方墳大塚古墳, Square burial mound in Nishi-ku, Saitama, Japan
The Hōfun Ōtsuka Kofun stands at 4 meters tall with a base measuring between 21 to 25 meters on each side and a summit spanning 9.5 meters.
The burial mound, designated as a Saitama Prefecture Historic Site in 1958, represents construction methods from the Kofun period between 300 and 538 AD.
The tomb belongs to the category of square-shaped kofun, which emerged as burial structures for regional leaders during the formation of early Japanese society.
Visitors can reach the site by car from the Miyamae Interchange of the Nishi-Omiya Bypass or walk from JR Nishi-Omiya Station on the Kawagoe Line.
The internal structure and precise construction date remain undetermined as no archaeological excavation has been conducted at the burial mound.
