rrmoser visited on 29th Apr 2018 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 5 Access: 4 no. 2 has two superb huge chambers just below the first major parking lot for the zoo. I visited alone. The site on the top of the hill labeled as no.1 in the description is also a fine chamber with reconstructed access passage. The site no. 3 was locked to entry. Despite being on the grounds of a very busy park and zoo these sites were peaceful and deserted.
Tumulus no.1 in round shape lies on the top of the hill behind the parking (33.76576N,132.79195E), no.2 in double round (gourd) shape with 2 chambers lies below the parking(33.76712N,132.79128E), tumulus no.3 in keyhole shaped with 2 chambers lies on the top of another hill across the road(33.76798N,132.79294E).
