Shiba Maruyama Kofun is a zenpō-kōen-fun (keyhole-shaped tumulus) built around 500 CE, located in Shibakōen in Minato Ward, Tokyo. This form of kofun, characterized by its distinctive keyhole shape combining a circular mound with a rectangular platform, represents a widespread burial tradition of Japan's Kofun period. The site survives as a rare example of such monumental funerary architecture within an urban Tokyo setting.
