A solitary chambered cairn on a branch ridge on the way to Mt.Matsukasa (松笠山) and Matsukasa Kannon (松笠観音) temple, the entrance of the trail starts in the precinct of uninhabited small temple Ryūsen-ji (龍泉寺). A signpost stands at the junction (alt. 240m approx.) of the main trail and the path to the cairn, but the letters "湯釜古墳" on it is almost vanishing. "Yugama" means a bathtub.
