Shotsuji-yama Kofun
Shotsuji-yama Kofun submitted by Aska : Site in Shikoku Japan (Vote or comment on this photo)
This tiny chambered cairn lies on the summit of Mt. Shōtsūji-yama, the top of which has been developed into a Tokiwa Kōen (常盤公園) park. From this point, fine view of the sea and the trans-island bridges can be seen.

This cairn is usually not called its own name but simply 'Tsumiishi-zuka kofun (積石塚古墳=chambered cairn)'.
