Suyama Kofun is a burial mound from the Kofun period, located in Kōryō, Nara Prefecture, in the Kansai region of Japan. Built in the zenpō-kōen-fun style—a distinctive keyhole-shaped form combining a rectangular and circular section—it is estimated to date to the end of the fourth century or beginning of the fifth century. The tumulus serves as the central mound of the Umami Kofun cluster. Originally designated a National Historic Site of Japan in 1927, its status was elevated to Special National Historic Site in 1952, reflecting its significance to the archaeological and cultural heritage of the Kofun period.
