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.
