Uwanarizuka Kofun is a zenpō-kōen-fun (keyhole-shaped mound tomb) located in Tenri, Nara Prefecture, Japan, dating to around 600 CE. This type of kofun—characterized by its distinctive keyhole form, with a circular mound attached to a rectangular platform—represents a significant funerary tradition of Japan's Kofun period, when large earthen mounds served as monumental burial sites for the elite.
