Takaosan Kofun, Ancient burial mound in Numazu, Japan
The Takaosan Kofun extends 62 meters in length and rises 5 meters above ground level, featuring a rectangular structure with two connected sections.
Constructed around 230 CE, this burial site contained wooden coffins directly placed in excavated graves, marking practices from the early Kofun period.
Archaeological excavations revealed bronze mirrors, jewels, and iron spears, indicating the burial of a military leader with substantial economic and political power.
The archaeological site stands at the southern end of a ridge extending from Mount Ashitaka, with two Shinto shrines positioned on different sections.
The burial mound contains pottery items from the Dako type 1 period, including regional vessels and small quantities of ceramics from other territories.
