Raijinyama Kofun is a double-mound burial site located two kilometers south of central Natori in Miyagi Prefecture, in Japan's Tōhoku region. The complex comprises a large keyhole-shaped kofun paired with a smaller circular mound, representing the zenpō-kōen-fun architectural style. Both mounds were collectively designated as a National Historic Site of Japan in 1956, with the protected area expanded in 1968.
