Yoshimi Hundred Caves

吉見百穴

Yoshimi Hundred Caves is a group of horizontal cave-style tombs constructed during the late Kofun period, between the late 6th and mid-7th centuries. Located in Saitama Prefecture, these tombs were excavated into slopes of tuffaceous sandstone. The site was designated as a national historic site in 1927. Currently, 219 horizontal stone chambers can be identified at the site, featuring structures consistent with those from the late Kofun period.
