Sakitama Kofun Cluster, Ancient burial mound complex in Gyoda, Japan
The Sakitama Kofun Cluster contains nine large tombs, including eight keyhole-shaped and one circular burial mound within Sakitama Kofun Park.
Built between the late 5th and 7th centuries, these burial mounds represent the final phase of ancient East Asian tomb construction traditions.
The Inariyama Kofun revealed a 145-centimeter iron sword with gold inlay inscriptions, providing insights into early Japanese writing and aristocracy.
The park includes a museum, parking for 303 cars and 33 buses, rest areas with tables, and facilities for making clay figurines.
The Futagoyama Kofun stands as the largest keyhole-shaped tomb in the Musashi region, measuring 132.2 meters in total length.
