Jingu-ji-yama Kofun, Keyhole-shaped burial mound in Kita-ku, Okayama, Japan.
The Jingu-ji-yama Kofun features a circular front section connected to a rectangular rear portion, forming a distinct keyhole shape on the landscape.
Constructed during the late 4th century, this burial mound represents the architectural practices of the Kofun period and received national historic site status in 1959.
The site demonstrates the advanced engineering capabilities of ancient Japanese societies through its large-scale earthwork construction methods and precise geometric design.
The kofun measures 267 meters in length, with a circular section diameter of 190 meters and heights varying between 20.5 and 27 meters.
Research access to the burial mound remains limited since 1849, when incidents of looting prompted authorities to restrict entry to the site.
