Yoshida Kofun, Archaeological burial mound in Mito, Japan
The octagonal burial mound measures 26 meters on each side and stands 1.6 meters tall within the Motoyoshida district of Mito.
Constructed in the middle of the 7th century AD, this tomb contains a burial chamber with painted murals depicting weapons and military equipment.
The discovery of gold rings, iron plate armor, straight swords, and magatama beads indicates the social status of the person buried in this tomb.
Visitors can reach the National Historic Site by taking a Kanto Railway bus from Mito Station to Yoshida Kofunen stop, followed by a five-minute walk.
This tomb represents the first decorated burial chamber found in the Kanto region, as similar decorated tombs primarily exist in Kansai and Kyushu.
