The Aotsuka Kofun is a Kofun period burial mound located in the Aotsuka neighborhood of Inuyama, Aichi Prefecture, in Japan's Tōkai region, dating to around 400 CE. Built in the distinctive zenpō-kōen-fun (keyhole) form characteristic of elite burials of its era, it ranks as the second largest kofun in Aichi Prefecture, surpassed only by the Danpusan Kofun in Nagoya. The site was designated a National Historic Site of Japan in 1983, recognizing its archaeological significance as evidence of the region's burial practices and social hierarchy during the Kofun period.
