Saki Misasagiyama Kofun is a zenpō-kōen-fun (keyhole-shaped burial mound) located in Misasagi-chō in Nara Prefecture, Japan. This ancient grave exemplifies the zenpō-kōen-fun architectural style characteristic of Japan's kofun period, distinguished by its distinctive keyhole shape when viewed from above—a rectangular front section adjoining a circular rear mound. Designated as an imperial mausoleum or tomb, it represents the monumental funerary practices of early Japan's elite classes.
