==Overview==
The Rōji Kofun is a {{nihongo|''[[Zenpokoenfun|zenpō-kōen-fun]]''|前方後円墳}}, which is shaped like a keyhole, having one square end and one circular end, when viewed from above. It is situated on a hill at an elevation of approximately 40 meters on the west bank of the Naka River, orientated to the south. [[Archaeological excavation]]s were carried out by [[Kyushu University]] and the Fukuoka Prefectural Board of Education from 1965 to 1969, and by the Fukuoka City Board of Education in 1987. The tumulus measures 76 meters in total length, with a 45-meter diameter posterior circular portion and 45-meter anterior rectangular width. The mound had ''[[fukiishi]]'' and cylindrical ''[[haniwa]]''. Three stone [[burial chamber]]s have been confirmed, with two in the posterior portion and one in the anterior portion. Burial chamber No. 1 in the center of the rear circle is the oldest, measuring 2.1 meters in length, 95-cm in width, and 80-cm in height.There is a corridor leading to the front part, and ten [[bronze mirror]]s including a triangular-rimmed divine beast mirror, were found as [[grave goods]]. From these artifacts, it estimated that the tumulus was built around the beginning of the 5th century. Other grave goods included cylindrical beads and ''[[magatama]]'', weapons such as iron swords and iron arrowheads, short armor, [[horse harness]]es, and tools. From the human bones surviving inside the burial chamber, it is known that multiple adult men and women were buried there..<ref name="Shiseki">{{cite book |last1=Isomura |first1=Yukio |last2=Sakai |first2=Hideya |title=(国指定史跡事典) National Historic Site Encyclopedia |date=2012 |publisher=学生社 |isbn=4311750404}}{{in lang|ja}}</ref>
