Hachiman Kannonzuka Kofun is a late 6th-century burial mound located in the Hachiman neighborhood of Takasaki, Gunma Prefecture, in Japan's northern Kantō region. This zenpō-kōen-fun (keyhole-shaped) kofun exemplifies the monumental funerary architecture of the Kofun period. Designated a National Historic Site of Japan in 1948, the site yielded significant grave goods that were recognized as National Important Cultural Properties in 1961, providing valuable evidence of ritual practices and material culture from the late classical period of Japanese prehistory.
