Ōno-no-Iwaya Kofun is a keyhole-shaped burial mound located in the Ryūhoku neighborhood of Hikawa, Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan. Dating to the mid-to-late 6th century during the Kofun period, it represents the largest kofun in Kumamoto Prefecture. The mound exhibits the zenpō-kōen-fun architectural style characteristic of the era. Designated a National Historic Site of Japan in 2013, it stands as a significant example of late Kofun period funerary architecture.
