Kamezuka Kofun

Ōita-shi, Japan

Kamezuka Kofun is a Kofun period keyhole-shaped burial mound, located in the Sato neighborhood of the city of Ōita on the island of Kyushu, Japan. The tumulus was designated a National Historic Site of Japan in 1996. It is one of the largest burial mounds in Ōita Prefecture, along with the Ogumayama Kofun in Kitsuki, and is estimated to have been constructed in the Toyokuni area in the early 5th century (mid-Kofun period). Due to the recent development of residential areas, it has been found to have been part of a cluster of burial mounds, now named the "Kamezuka Kofun Cluster".
