Sakurai Chausuyama Kofun is a burial mound located in Sakurai, Nara, in Japan's Kansai region. Built in the latter half of the 3rd century, it represents the zenpō-kōen-fun style—a keyhole-shaped tumulus form characteristic of the Kofun period. Constructed in the generation following the Hashihaka Kofun, this monument was designated a National Historic Site of Japan in 1980.
