Located in the Sato neighborhood of Ōita on Kyushu's island, Kamezuka Kofun is a keyhole-shaped burial mound dating to the early fifth century during the mid-Kofun period. Designated a National Historic Site of Japan in 1996, it ranks among the largest tumuli in Ōita Prefecture. Archaeological investigation of the surrounding area revealed that the mound once formed part of a larger cluster of burial sites, now formally identified as the Kamezuka Kofun Cluster, which has come to light through modern residential development in the region.
