The Torazuka Kofun is a decorated burial mound from the Kofun period located in the Nakane neighborhood of Hitachinaka, Ibaraki Prefecture in Japan's northern Kantō region. Classified as a zenpō-kōen-fun—a keyhole-shaped mound representing the final stage of kofun construction—it exemplifies the monumental funerary architecture characteristic of its era. Designated a National Historic Site in 1974, the Torazuka Kofun preserves evidence of the decorative traditions that distinguished late Kofun period burials.
