Octagonal Kofun (八角墳, hakkaku-fun) are a very rare kind of kofun.

Many Japanese Emperors were buried in them including Empress Kōgyoku in Kengoshizuka Kofun [en],[1][2] Emperor Tenji in his Mausoleum [ja],[3] and Emperor Jomei in Dannozuka Kofun [ja][4]

From the end of the 6th century to the beginning of the 7th, the tumuli of the monarchs changed from square hōfun tumuli to octagonal hakkaku-fun tumuli.[5]
