Dōgameyama Kofun, Ancient burial mound in Sakai-ku, Japan
The Dōgameyama Kofun stands as a square-shaped burial mound measuring 26 meters on each side, featuring a two-tiered construction with a height of 5.4 meters.
Built during the 5th century, this tomb belongs to the Mozu Tombs complex and served as a satellite tomb for the massive Daisen Kofun, attributed to Emperor Nintoku.
Archaeological excavations at the site have uncovered cylindrical earthenware figures, bell-shaped clay figures, and Sue pottery, indicating sophisticated burial practices.
The tomb site is accessible via a 30-meter walk from the Dairyo-cho bus stop, with multilingual information signs available throughout the grounds.
Local residents traditionally refer to this tomb as 'Dongame,' reflecting its turtle-like appearance when viewed from certain angles.
