Ōzan Kofun Cluster, Ancient burial mounds in Matsue, Japan.

The Ōzan Kofun Cluster spans approximately 2.5 kilometers north-to-south and four kilometers east-to-west across elevated terrain in Shimane Prefecture.

The burial mounds were constructed between the late 4th and mid-6th centuries AD, with twelve tumuli receiving National Historic Site designation in 1956.

The cluster contains different types of burial mounds including keyhole-shaped, circular, and square structures, reflecting ancient Japanese funeral practices.

Located 3.4 kilometers north of Matsue Station, the site displays archaeological artifacts at the Faculty of Letters of Hiroshima University.

The Kinzaki No. 1 mound measures 32 meters in length and features distinct anterior and posterior sections with a pit-style stone chamber.
