The Shirageyama Kofun is a Kofun period burial mound located in the Ushirono neighborhood of Yosano, a town in Kyoto Prefecture within Japan's Kansai region. Constructed in the zenpō-kōen-fun style—a distinctive keyhole-shaped form characteristic of elite burials from the Kofun period—the mound was designated a National Historic Site of Japan in 2002.
