The Takamatsuzuka Tomb (Takamatsuzuka Kofun or 'Tall Pine Tree Ancient Burial Mound' is an ancient circular tomb in Asuka village; Nara prefecture; Japan. Dating from the 6th-7th century CE; it contains painted fresco wall paintings of courtiers in Goguryeo-style garb.

The paintings are in full color with red; blue; gold; and silver foil representing four male followers and four abigails together with the Azure Dragon; Black Tortoise; White Tiger; and Vermilion Bird groups of stars. The paintings are designated as a national treasure of Japan. For whom the tomb was built is unknown; but the decorations suggest it is for a member of the Japanese royal family or a high-ranking nobleman.
