Hashihaka kofun, a burial mound near [[Nara]], dating to the 3rd or 4th century CE, is one of the largest of the earliest keyhold-shaped (''zenpô kôen'') [[kofun]]. The mound is about 280 meters long.
The site is said to be possibly the grave of [[Yamato Totohi Momoso]]-hime, a figure from the ''[[Nihon shoki]]''. Other theories suggest that Hashihaka is the grave of [[Himiko]], and/or that Himiko and Totohi Momoso-hime were the same person.
