Shiratori Kofun is a zenpō-kōen-fun, a keyhole-shaped burial mound, located in Japan. This architectural form, distinctive to Japanese prehistory and early history, features a rounded rear section joined to a rectangular front platform, a design that reflects the ritual and ceremonial importance of elite burials during the kofun period.
