Ryūgakuji Kofun Cluster
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ryūgakuji kofun cluster (龍角寺古墳群, Ryūgakuji kofun-gun) is a group of Kofun period burial mounds located in what is now the Ryukakuji neighborhood of the town of Sakae and extending into the city of Narita, Chiba Prefecture in the Kantō region of Japan. The site was designated a National Historic Site of Japan in 1941, with the area extended in 2009.[1] Containing 114 tumuli, it is the largest cluster of kofun in the Kantō region. The National Historic Site designation also singles out Kofun No. 105, which is named the Iwaya kofun (岩屋古墳).
