Jingūjiyama Kofun is an ancient keyhole-shaped burial mound (zenpō-kōen-fun) located in Okayama, measuring about 150 meters in length and dating to the 5th century Kofun period. It is one of the largest such mounds in the area, believed to be the tomb of a local chieftain. The site has been preserved as a historic park, with the mound covered in grass and trees, and informational signs explaining its significance. Visitors can walk around the perimeter and climb a nearby observation point for a view of the keyhole shape.
