There were several chambered cairn groups, Jōyama, Mukaiyama and Zendana Kofungun, on the slope of the western mountain range of Toyokawa city, but the development of a golf link caused the destruction of them. Only cairn no. 6 of Jōyama Kofungun is moved and preserved in the sourth-western corner, beyond a bank behind the backstop of the baseball field, of the playground of Ichinomiya Junior High School (一宮中学校).
It has 2 chambers but thick weed on the mound prevents from recognizing them.
Ask for entrance permission from the teachers, and reply to the greeting from the polite baseball players.
