Tōnosaki means "Cape of Towers". Plural cairns stand on the edge of a sea cliff. They resemble to the Yakuma-no-Tō (ヤクマの塔) which are piled as annual event in Kisaka (木坂) and Ōmi (青海) villages and the cairns in Korean tower temple 馬耳山塔寺 (마이산 탑사). Or they may have some relations with the pyramids of sun worship in Tsushima islands: Hatchōkaku and Tenjin Takuzutama Jinja.
