Inari-mori Kofun, Ancient burial mound in Nan'yō, Yamagata Prefecture, Japan.

The Inari-mori Kofun features a distinct keyhole shape when viewed from above, with one square end connecting to a circular section through a narrow passage.

Built during the Kofun period between 250 and 538 AD, this burial mound received designation as a Historic Site of Japan in 1980.

The construction method and size of the burial mound indicate the social status of the individual interred within, following ancient Japanese funerary traditions.

The site maintains regular visiting hours and connects to major transportation routes in Yamagata Prefecture through local bus services and walking paths.

Archaeological excavations at Inari-mori Kofun revealed multiple chambers containing artifacts that demonstrate the technical capabilities of ancient Japanese craftsmen.
