Long Barrow in Honshū. A 36m length keyhole-shaped Kofun on a hill top. It is one of the 3 exceptional examples of the Kofuns with gabled ceiling chamber, which seems to be peculiar to the burial system of Goguryeo (one of 3 ancient Korean kingdom), outside Nagano prefecture. The chamber has been buried back into the soil and the mound itself is also hard to be recognized
An article with the photos of the excavated chamber
There is a direct climbing pass towards this site, but lower part of it has vanished and it is very hard to get the recognizable starting point (37.61432N,139.79488) in the wood (the path itself is being obscured by growing vegetation).
