Kamunazuka Kofun, Ancient burial mound in Kofu, Japan
The circular Kamunazuka Kofun measures 40 meters in diameter and 7 meters in height, featuring a stone chamber accessible through a side entrance point.
Built during the latter half of the 6th century, this burial structure represents a period when influential leaders established their authority through monumental tombs.
The name Kamunazuka contains references to Koguryo visitors, indicating early connections between Japanese and Korean civilizations in the Yamanashi region.
Visitors can view the burial mound while observing the Minami Alps from the Jizo-do at Entakuji Temple in the northern mountainous area of Kofu.
The ceiling stones of the tomb demonstrate advanced engineering methods, with a spacious interior chamber large enough for people to walk inside.
