The Chitose-Kurumazuka Kofun is a sixth-century burial mound located in Kameoka, Kyoto, in Japan's Kansai region. Built during the first half of the late Kofun period, it represents the zenpō-kōen-fun architectural style—a keyhole-shaped tumulus form characteristic of elite burials of its era. The largest mound in the Tamba region, it was designated a National Historic Site of Japan in 1982. Local tradition identifies it as the tomb of King Yahiko, purportedly the fourteenth grandson of Emperor Chuai, though this attribution remains legendary rather than historically verified.
