Ōjiyama Kofun, Ancient burial mound in Nishikori, Ōtsu, Japan
The burial mound stands at 164 meters elevation on the western bank of Lake Biwa, featuring a two conjoined rectangles configuration oriented toward the south.
Excavations in 1964 and 1970 uncovered five burial facilities within the tumulus, dating its construction to the late 4th century of the Kofun period.
The structure incorporates fukiishi stones exclusively on the side facing Lake Biwa, indicating deliberate design choices for visibility from the water.
Visitors can access the archaeological park by taking a ten-minute walk from Ōmijingūmae Station on the Keihan Electric Railway Ishiyama Sakamoto Line.
The designation includes both the main rectangular burial mound and a separate circular burial mound measuring 20 meters in diameter located to the east.
