Located in Hikone, Shiga Prefecture, the Kōjinyama Kofun is a burial mound dating to around 400 CE and exemplifying the zenpō-kōen-fun architectural style—a keyhole-shaped design characteristic of the Kofun period. Situated between the Hinatsu and Kiyosaki neighborhoods, this earthen monument was officially designated a National Historic Site of Japan in 2011, reflecting its significance in understanding early Japanese funerary practices and monumental construction.
