Across the country stand massive ancient burial mounds known as kofun, enormous royal tombs built during the Kofun period between 250 and 538 CE. Some of these giant graves are linked to early emperors and elite rulers, including Daisen Kofun, one of the largest tomb complexes on Earth. Yet many remain only partially studied or unopened due to tradition, reverence, and imperial protections. In this episode of The Strange History Podcast, we explore the people of Kofun Japan, rice-farming clans, warrior elites, haniwa clay figures, ancestor worship, ancient Japanese burial traditions, and the secrets that may still lie beneath these forest-covered mounds. What treasures, remains, and lost truths still rest underground?
