Nagai MaenoYama Kofun
Nagai MaenoYama Kofun submitted by Aska : Site in Honshū Japan A keyhole-shaped Kofun mound, the top of the round part is backlighted greenish on the left and the edge slope of the triangle part can be seen on the right barely (Vote or comment on this photo)
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).
