Zenpo-Koenfun Co., Ltd. (Representative Director: Tsuneyasu Takeda, Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo), which revives Japan's unique "kofun culture" in modern times, announced on March 19, Reiwa 8 (2026), that it has newly acquired the trademark for 'Gyoretsu no Dekiru Hakajimai Sodanjo' (Consultation Office for Grave Closures with Long Lines).

In recent years, with the declining birthrate, aging population, and changes in lifestyles, the demand for "hakajimai" (grave closure/relocation) has been rapidly increasing. Against the backdrop of issues such as the absence of grave successors and the burden of managing graves from afar, many people are considering organizing or relocating their graves even during their lifetime.

To meet these societal demands, our company will leverage the knowledge of memorial services and rituals cultivated through the planning and sales of kofun burial mounds, and proceed with building a comprehensive support system for grave closures.

About Zenpo-Koenfun Co., Ltd.

Our company is an end-of-life related business that develops and sells "kofun burial mounds," which are tree burials faithfully reproducing ancient Japanese kofun. Currently, three kofun burial mounds have been completed and are on sale in Chiba, Kagawa, and Osaka prefectures, and we aim to develop 100 kofun burial mounds nationwide.

Contracts and payments for kofun burial mounds are all completed on the e-commerce site "Kofun no Madoguchi" (Kofun Window). We also strive to create a new culture of memorial services, such as holding "Kofun Alumni Associations" as opportunities for those who will share the same grave to interact during their lifetime.

What are "Kofun Burial Mounds"?

During the Kofun period, kofun (ancient burial mounds) were built to appease the spirits of influential people and wish for their peaceful rest.

Among them, keyhole-shaped kofun (zenpo-koenfun) were special graves built especially for people of high status.

Our kofun burial mounds faithfully reproduce the ancient imperial tombs with the help of archaeologists, and are rare graves revived as perpetual memorial graves and collective graves that meet the needs of modern society with its declining birthrate and aging population.

Perpetual Memorial Services and Offerings

The cemetery will perform memorial services and offerings twice a year, perpetually.

No Annual Payments Required

Payments are only made at the time of contract; no management fees or other charges thereafter.

No Successor Needed

Peace of mind for individuals living alone or those who do not wish to burden their children or grandchildren.
