In Japan there are many burial mounds called Kofun, the graves of ancient kings, emperors, local rulers and their clans, which are scattered throughout Honshu (the main island of Japan) and the islands of Kyushu and Shikoku. This short communication was written in response to a paper by Baratta et al. (2022) that was published in a remote sensing journal, and is designed to outline the contents of their paper in relation to recent Japanese studies of the astronomical aspects of Kofun design
