Tama-u-dun Royal Tombs Shuri, Okinawa, Japan

This stone mausoleum, built in 1501, is the burial place of the rulers of the second Sho dynasty, beginning with King Sho En. It consists of three chambers. The bodies would be placed, initially, in the center chamber until they decomposed. After defleshing, the bones would be washed clean and moved to the left or right chamber for final burial. Kings and queens were buried in the left chamber, while other members of the royal family were buried in the right chamber.

The mausoleum was restored after suffering heavy damage in WWII.
