Naka Hachiman Kofun is a zenpō-kōen-fun (a keyhole-shaped burial mound) located in Naka, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan, dating to around 300 CE. This type of kofun, characterized by its distinctive frontal rectangular section adjoining a circular rear mound, represents a characteristic form of elite burial architecture from Japan's Kofun period, when such monumental earthworks served as tombs for the region's highest-ranking individuals.
