Nakatsuyama Kofun is a zenpō-kōen-fun (keyhole-shaped tumulus) located in Fujiidera, Japan, dating to around 500 CE. This type of mound—characterized by a distinctive keyhole form combining a circular mound with a rectangular platform—served as an imperial mausoleum or tomb during Japan's Kofun period. The site is designated as part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, recognizing its archaeological and historical significance within the broader tradition of kofun burial monuments that flourished across the Japanese archipelago during the 3rd to 7th centuries.
