Ashimayama-kofun is a zenpō-kōen-fun, a keyhole-shaped burial mound characteristic of ancient Japanese funerary architecture, located in Japan. This type of kofun features a distinctive form combining a circular rear mound with a rectangular front section, a design that emerged during Japan's Kofun period and represents an important development in the architectural traditions of prehistoric and protohistoric Japan.
