Fujinoki Kofun, Burial mound in Ikaruga, Japan
The circular tomb structure measures 40 meters in diameter and rises 7.6 meters high, featuring stone burial chambers with a lateral entrance type.
The kofun, constructed during the late 6th century, contains two stone coffins that hold the remains of male individuals of significant political status.
The burial chambers incorporate white tuff stone from Mount Nijo and display traditional cinnabar pigment decorations both inside and outside the structure.
Located 350 meters west of Horyu-ji Temple, the site offers visitors access to replicas of discovered artifacts and a 3D model at the Archaeological Research Institute.
Excavations between 1985 and 2016 revealed numerous gold bronze horse trappings and ceremonial weapons, indicating connections with Korean craftsmanship of the period.
