Higashi Tomezuka Kofun is a zenpō-kōen-fun, or keyhole-shaped mound tomb, located in Kobe, Japan. The zenpō-kōen-fun style—characterized by a rectangular front section adjoining a circular rear mound—represents one of the distinctive mortuary architectures of Japan's Kofun period. This ancient earthwork stands as evidence of the monumental burial practices that defined elite society in protohistoric Japan.
