Hazamiyama Kofun, Ancient burial mound in Fujiidera, Japan

The Hazamiyama Kofun measures 103 meters in length and features a keyhole shape with the front section oriented towards the east, surrounded by a moat.

Built during the 5th century, this tomb belongs to the Furuichi Kofun Cluster and reflects the burial practices of ancient Japanese aristocracy.

Excavations around the site revealed numerous artifacts, including haniwa clay figures, demonstrating the advanced funerary customs of the Kofun period.

Visitors can reach the site by taking the Kintetsu Minami-Osaka Line to Fujiidera Station, then catching a bus to the Nonaka bus stop.

The burial mound shares its location with the adjacent Nonaka Miyayama Kofun, creating a rare configuration of two keyhole-shaped tombs facing opposite directions.
