Nobono Otsuka Kofun, Ancient burial mound in Kameyama, Japan.

The Nobono Otsuka Kofun features a distinctive keyhole shape, combining a square front section with a circular rear portion measuring several meters in height.

Built during the 4th century, this burial mound represents architectural practices of the Kofun period when powerful rulers constructed large tombs across Japan.

The tomb structure connects to Yamato Takeru, a figure from Japanese mythology, and includes the adjacent Nobono Shrine as part of its ceremonial complex.

Located at coordinates 34° 53′ 04.36″ N and 136° 28′ 55.09″ E, the kofun stands among multiple ancient burial sites throughout Mie Prefecture.

The burial mound contains archaeological evidence of early Japanese funerary customs, including specific architectural elements that defined imperial mausolea construction.
