The Jōnozuka Kofun is a keyhole-shaped burial mound (zenpō-kōen-fun) located in Wakasa, Fukui Prefecture, in Japan's Hokuriku region. Built between the late 4th and early 5th centuries AD, it stands as the largest keyhole-shaped tumulus in the Wakasa area. The site was designated a National Historic Site of Japan in 1935, recognizing its archaeological and cultural significance as a monumental example of kofun burial architecture from the classical Japanese period.
