Atagoyama Kofun, Archaeological burial mound in Gyoda, Japan.

The Atagoyama Kofun features a keyhole-shaped design with a rectangular double moat and measures 53 meters in total length.

Built during the 6th century, this burial mound belongs to the Sakitama Kofun Cluster and received National Historic Site designation in 1938.

Excavations at the site revealed numerous haniwa clay figures, including cylindrical shapes, houses, horses, and human representations.

The burial mound is located near the parking area of Sakitama Kofun archaeological park, adjacent to the larger Futagoyama Kofun.

The mound contains an unexcavated burial chamber that remains unexplored due to structural concerns about potential collapse.
