Chausuyama Kofun is a zenpō-kōen-fun (keyhole-shaped burial mound) located in Chausuyama, Osaka Prefecture, Japan, dating to around 500 CE. Built during Japan's Kofun period, the mound exemplifies the distinctive architectural form characteristic of elite funerary monuments of that era, featuring the characteristic keyhole profile created by combining a circular rear section with a rectangular frontal projection.
