Tsukuriyama Kofun is a monumental burial mound in the Misu neighborhood of Sōja, Okayama Prefecture, Japan, designated a National Historic Site in 1921. Built in the mid-fifth century during the Kofun period, it exemplifies the zenpō-kōen-fun (keyhole-shaped) form characteristic of elite burials of that era. The tumulus ranks as the second largest in Okayama Prefecture and the tenth largest in Japan, attesting to the considerable status of its occupant.
