Ezuriko Kofun Cluster, Ancient burial mounds in Kitakami, Japan.
The Ezuriko Kofun Cluster contains four separate groups of burial mounds situated on a river terrace near the confluence of Waga and Kitakami Rivers.
Archaeological excavations in 1954 by Waseda University determined these burial mounds dated from the late 7th through early 8th centuries AD.
The cluster includes 120 dome-shaped burial mounds containing stone chambers made from river stones, revealing artifacts such as magatama beads and horse equipment.
Visitors can reach the archaeological site by taking the Iwateken Kotsu Bus from Kitakami Station to the Gojo Maru stop, followed by a three-minute walk.
The burial mounds range from 4.5 to 16 meters in diameter with heights between 0.4 to 0.7 meters, featuring stone chambers extending up to five meters.
