Built in the first half of the 5th century, it is one of the largest circular tumuli in the prefecture, with a diameter of 80m and a height of 7m, and is one of the largest built on flat land. Although not faithfully reproduced, one theory remains that it is the tomb of King Shioyaki, who died during the Emi no Oshikatsu (Fujiwara no Nakamaro) Rebellion (764). Ozuka Kofun is of great significance in elucidating the Kofun period in Takashima City, and was designated a Shiga Prefecture Cultural Property Historic Site on March 62, 3, as an indispensable archaeological site for research into the ancient history of Omi.
