Kawabe-Takamori Kofun Cluster, Ancient burial mounds complex in Usa, Japan.
The Kawabe-Takamori Kofun Cluster contains 120 burial sites spread across 20 hectares, including six front-square-back-circle mounds on a 30-meter-high terrace.
Dating from the early 4th to mid-6th centuries, the Akatsuka Kofun stands as one of the oldest front-square-back-circle burial mounds in Kyushu.
Archaeological excavations at the site revealed numerous haniwa figures, ceremonial mirrors, weapons, and pottery that reflect burial practices of ancient Japan.
The site received official designation as a national historic site in 1980, with many artifacts now displayed at the Oita Prefectural Museum.
The Menbitaira Kofun, among the largest burial sites in northern Oita Prefecture, contains triangular edge divinity mirrors and extensive burial chambers.
