Kōkadani Kofun
Kōkadani Kofun submitted by Aska : Site in Kyushu Japan: (Vote or comment on this photo)
A round barrow with 2 layers stands very close to Sekijin-san Kofun. It has a mural painting inside. It is only open to public on the 2nd Sundays in April and November. Several quivers, circles with tentacles and triangles were painted but only infra-red photography can distinguish them.

A neighbouring small museum exhibits the replica of the mural painting. Open 9:00-17:00, closed on Mondays and the days around the New Year's Day, admission free.
