Kōshōji Kofun, Keyhole-shaped burial mound in Fukuoka, Japan
The Kōshōji Kofun features a circular rear portion connected to a rectangular front section, forming a distinct keyhole shape visible from above.
The burial mound dates from the Kofun period between the 3rd and 7th centuries, when powerful clans constructed these tombs across Japan.
Clay figurines called haniwa originally stood around the mound's perimeter to mark boundaries and serve ceremonial functions during burial rituals.
Visitors can observe the earthen mound structure from designated viewing areas, though interior access remains restricted due to preservation regulations.
The tomb contains a stone chamber that housed wooden coffins and burial items, following construction patterns typical of the Fukuoka region.
