Tezukayama Kofun is a keyhole-shaped burial mound (zenpō-kōen-fun) located in the Tezukayama neighborhood of Sumiyoshi-ku, Osaka. Dating to the Kofun period, this tumulus was designated a National Historic Site of Japan in 1963. The distinctive zenpō-kōen-fun form—a square front section adjoining a circular rear section—exemplifies the monumental funerary architecture characteristic of Japan's ancient elite during the Kofun era.
