A cluster of ancient kofun burial mounds set in open fields and copses — shoot low-profile earthen silhouettes, seasonal foliage and textured grass under golden-hour light. Easy roadside access in Kashima, usually free to explore; small parking nearby. Best at sunrise or sunset for long shadows; spring cherry blossoms and autumn colours add interest. Respect signs and avoid disturbing sites — they are archaeological cultural properties.
