A small tumulus isolated in a paddy field close to the elevated railway of Jōetsu Shinkansen bullet express. This tumulus is believed to be a push-button (hemisphere on a rectangular basement) shaped one, but some scholars suspect that the shape is the result of the destruction caused by the cultivation around this tumulus.
