The Inariyama Kofun (稲荷山古墳) is a kofun burial mound located in the city of Gyōda, Saitama Prefecture, in the Kantō region of Japan. The tumulus was designated a National Historic Site in 1938 and re-designated as a Special National Historic Site of Japan in 2020 as part of the Sakitama Kofun Cluster.[1] It is also referred to as the Sakitama Inariyama Kofun (埼玉稲荷山古墳) or the Gyōda Inariyama Kofun (行田稲荷山古墳) to disambiguate it from other tumuli using the name of "Inariyama" in other parts of the country.
