The Nagatsuka Kofun is a burial mound of the zenpō-kōen-fun type—a keyhole-shaped earthwork characteristic of early Japanese funerary architecture—located in the Nakaedo neighborhood of Kani, Gifu Prefecture. Built around 500 CE, it reflects the monumental tomb-building traditions of the Kofun period. The mound was designated a National Historic Site of Japan in 1956, with protective measures expanded in 2003 to encompass a larger surrounding area.
