Higashinorikura Kofun is a keyhole-shaped burial mound (zenpō-kōen-fun) located in Tenri, Nara Prefecture, Japan, dating to around 600 CE. The zenpō-kōen-fun form—characterized by a rectangular front section and circular rear section—represents a distinctive mortuary architecture of Japan's Kofun period, when such monumental earthen tumuli served as elite burial sites.
