Chambered Cairn in Shikoku

Along with Unobeyama Kofun, this keyhole shaped chambered cairn lies in the eastern part of Kagawa prefecture.

There is a ridge path towards the cairn on the top of the hill, but it is interrupted and not connected to the road, so it requires to climb the cliff of the cutting of the road to find the path on the ridge.
