Motoshima Shōgunzuka Kofun, Ancient burial mound in Takasaki, Japan.
The Motoshima Shōgunzuka Kofun features two connected rectangular sections with stone-lined chambers and decorative elements across its structure.
Constructed between the late 4th and early 5th centuries, this burial mound contained vermillion-decorated chambers and significant artifacts from the Kofun period.
The tomb structure reflects the sophisticated burial practices of ancient Japanese nobility through its architectural design and ceremonial components.
Visitors can reach the archaeological site within ten minutes by car from Shinonoi Station on the JR West Shin'etsu Main Line.
The burial chamber contains the largest double stone-walled structure found in eastern Japan, with evidence of connections to the imperial dynasty.
