Kanakurayama Kofun is a zenpō-kōen-fun, a keyhole-shaped burial mound, located in Okayama, Japan. This type of kofun—monumental earthwork tombs characteristic of Japan's Kofun period—features the distinctive zenpō-kōen-fun design, with a rectangular frontal section adjoining a circular rear section, all enclosed by moats. The form reflects the sophisticated funerary practices and engineering capabilities of ancient Japan.
