Waguri Kofun
Waguri Kofun submitted by Aska : Site in Honshū Japan (Vote or comment on this photo)
A ruined tumulus on the terraced field of Waguri hamlet. The mound is completely demolished and now covered with weeds and vines, only triangle-roofed chamber remains.

The chamber has no side walls, so it is a triangular tube like a kaleidoscope.
