Maefutago Kofun, Keyhole-shaped burial mound in Nishi-Ōmuro, Takasaki, Japan
The Maefutago Kofun extends 94 meters in length, featuring a two-tiered circular portion and a rectangular section positioned at 70 degrees northeast.
Built at the start of the 6th century AD, this burial mound underwent its first excavation in 1878 during a Meiji government initiative to locate Toyoki-irihiko's grave.
Excavations revealed 1,340 haniwa clay figures arranged in rows, along with gold earrings, glass beads, iron swords, and miniature farming tools inside.
The archaeological site stands within Ōmuro Park, which contains multiple kofun structures and reconstructions from the period for public viewing.
A shield-shaped double moat stretches 148 meters around the tomb, incorporating a stone-lined burial chamber with a sarcophagus containing Korean Peninsula artifacts.
Architectural style: keyhole-shaped kofun
