Located in Ehime Prefecture, Japan, Kasagitōge Kofun is a zenpō-kōen-fun—a keyhole-shaped burial mound characteristic of early Japanese tomb architecture. The zenpō-kōen-fun form, with its distinctive rounded and squared sections, emerged during the Kofun period and reflects the monumental funerary practices of ancient Japanese elites. Designated as a Prefectural Historic Site, Kasagitōge Kofun survives as an archaeological testament to the region's early history and the sophisticated engineering of these large-scale earthworks.
