The Kinyakurumazuka Kofun is a keyhole-shaped burial mound located in the Miyanosaka neighborhood of Hirakata, Osaka, in Japan's Kansai region. Dating to the Kofun period, this zenpō-kōen-fun (keyhole-form tumulus) exemplifies the distinctive architectural style of early Japanese monumental funerary practice. Designated a National Historic Site of Japan in 1972, the mound's protected area was expanded in 2007, reflecting its archaeological and cultural significance.
