Barrow Cemetery in Honshū

On the roadside of a narrow road towards the mountain, 2 tumuli (no.10 & no.11) are preserved in a park called Imami Kofun Kōen (=Imami Tumuli Park 今見古墳公園). The tumuli group consists of 16 mounds, it seems the other mounds including no.5, a chambered cairn, are hidden in the wood near by.
