The Chausuyama Kofun is a keyhole-shaped burial mound located in the Akibadai neighborhood of Ōtsu, Shiga, in Japan's Kansai region. Measuring 122 meters in total length, it ranks as the third largest kofun in Shiga Prefecture and was designated a National Historic Site of Japan in 1921. As a zenpō-kōen-fun—a type combining a rectangular forward section with a circular rear mound—it exemplifies the distinctive monumental architecture of the Kofun period.
