Oichi Kofun
Oichi Kofun submitted by aska : Site in Honshū Japan (Vote or comment on this photo)
Passage Grave in Honshū. On a mountain ridge, an octagonal pyramid shaped tumulus protected with pile of black sandbags lies. It has 3 chambers inside, so they and the entrance passage show a rare cross-shaped plan.
