Takarazuka Kofun (Mie)

The Takarazuka Kofun is a tumulus (kofun) located in the city of Tsu, Mie Prefecture, Japan. It is classified as an enpun (round-shaped tomb). The kofun dates back to the late Kofun period (6th century AD). While not exceptionally large compared to other kofun in Japan, it is notable for its location within Mie Prefecture and contributes to the understanding of the region's historical development and burial practices during that era. Archaeological investigations have yielded artifacts that provide insights into the people buried there and their relationship to broader cultural trends of the Kofun period. Further detailed research and analysis are ongoing to fully understand its significance within the regional and national context of Japanese history and archaeology.
